The election coverage is generally clear, but the debate analysis feels rushed. I would rather hear one extra minute of context than another round of repeated headlines.

I only found this site recently, and it has been an easy way to sample local Harrisburg news without signing up. The stream loaded quickly on my tablet.

Checking in from Ireland, I like keeping up with Harrisburg weather and local headlines. The time difference means I usually catch the evening broadcast during my morning coffee.

My family watches the morning news together while breakfast is cooking. The kids like the school and community stories, and I get the weather update without turning on another app.

The midday updates are a nice background while I work. I appreciate the straightforward local reporting, especially when storms or road closures start affecting the area.

Picture stays clear on my Fire Stick, and the audio has remained nicely synced without buffering through the entire evening newscast.

After everyone else is asleep, I leave CBS 21 on for a little local news before bed. The signal has dropped twice late at night, but it usually comes back quickly.

The weekend sports segment was a handy way to catch high school scores and local team updates without sitting through a full game recap.

I like that I can jump straight into CBS 21 without making an account. The channel list is easy to browse, and the free stream worked well on my phone.
Anthony Patterson
The evening newscast is solid, but that bottom ticker moves so quickly I miss half the headlines while reading the other half. A slower scroll would make the business and election updates much easier to follow.
