Recent Updates Provide LG Smart TV Users With Access to a Versatile News Portal,
a Practical Browser and More News Content From Global Partnerships
SEOUL, Dec. 12, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is bringing updates to its webOS smart TV platform to deliver faster, smarter and more engaging ways to explore news content. With news being one of the most accessed types of content on TVs, LG is dedicated to providing streamlined access to free news channels, podcasts and more through the News Portal and web browser on its convenient webOS platform.
To enable more seamless access to news, LG has partnered with Haystack News, a leading news streaming service that sources content from more than 400 local, national and global news channels and boasts over 40 million registered users. Starting in 2026, LG Smart TVs sold1 in the U.S. and Canada will come with an LG Magic Remote featuring a dedicated Haystack News button, allowing users to jump straight to the service and start watching trusted news without navigating through multiple menus. Haystack News will also be easily accessible via the News Portal or web browser on LG TVs2 running webOS 25 and above.
“Our mission at Haystack News is to provide viewers with unparalleled access to trusted, diverse news sources,” said Daniel Barreto, CEO of Haystack News. “This expanded partnership marks a significant step forward in achieving that goal. We’re proud to deepen our relationship with the world’s number one OLED TV brand.”
Easy to access from the dedicated Q-card, the News Portal offers a streamlined path to news discovery for owners of LG Smart TVs running webOS 253 in nine countries: the U.S., the U.K., Mexico, Brazil, Germany, Spain, Italy, France and South Korea.
By integrating multiple content sources and features into one destination, the News Portal simplifies navigation and serves as an all-in-one hub for news. Users can view the latest live and on-demand news curated from trusted sources like Haystack News in the Trending News4 section; Live news content from LG Channels, the company’s free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) service; podcasts from LG Radio+,5 the company’s free audio streaming service; and selected news content from major news outlets. With its intuitive interface, the portal helps users stay informed with ease.
LG has also upgraded the platform’s web browser, accessible from the home screen,6 to make it easier to keep up with recent news and information. Featuring an integrated search engine that delivers tailored results for each region,7 the browser helps users quickly find the most relevant stories. Below the search bar, frequently visited website shortcuts appear along with recommended sites.
The browser interface additionally highlights the Trending News section for the most popular news, while the Picks for You section offers personalized recommendations aligned with individual interests.
“LG is enhancing the viewing experience with a refined UI for the News Q-card, making live news watching effortless and more accessible,” said Chris Jo, head of the webOS Platform Business Center at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “This upgrade, along with our Haystack partnership, ensures users can seamlessly explore a wider range of free-to-watch content tailored to their interest and preferences.”

Improved Access to News Content and Strengthened Broadcast Partnerships Inspire
Double-Digit Growth Across Multiple Regions
SEOUL, Aug. 8, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) is advancing LG Channels viewership growth across the world, thanks to its intuitive user interface and growing variety of content. As part of this effort, LG is partnering with leading broadcasters and news organizations across multiple regions to add more news streams to the platform, making them both relevant to local audiences and easier to access and explore.
Starting this month, LG Channels news content can also be accessed directly from the home screen via newly introduced News Portal. Rolled out via Q-Card in the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, the U.K. and Germany on TVs running webOS 25, this feature is expected to expand to more platforms later this year – supporting further news consumption growth, thanks to the company’s free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) service.
In the U.S., LG Smart TV users can access a wide array of news channels through LG Channels News Hub, a curated source for free, ad-supported news channels. The News Hub is made possible through partnerships with multiple leading national and local broadcasters whose channels are available in the News Hub, including NBCUniversal, Disney, FOX Television Stations, Bloomberg Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, Allen Media Group’s Local Now, E.W. Scripps, Sinclair Broadcast Group and others. In addition, users can still access news channels through the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) on their LG Smart TVs.
LG Channels also provides localized content from Local Now channels, Allen Media Group’s free news streaming service, which delivers over 220 local channels in every U.S. ZIP code.
Expanding its offerings for Spanish-speaking viewers, LG collaborated with NBCUniversal News Group earlier this year to introduce Telemundo Station Group’s 24/7 streaming news channels. These channels – Telemundo Noticias California, Telemundo Noticias Texas, Telemundo Noticias Florida and Telemundo Noticias Noreste – deliver regional news coverage.
These partnerships have been a key driver of the double-digit linear growth the LG Channels service has seen in the U.S., year-over-year. LG’s efforts to strengthen regional news access through LG Channels were recognized in June 2025 with the Award for Achievement in Local Broadcasting at the ITVT/TVOT 21st Annual Awards for Leadership in Interactive and Multiplatform Television. This honor underscores the company’s commitment to advancing news content delivery through partnerships with trusted local broadcasters.
“Our goal with LG Channels has always been to make high-quality, relevant content accessible to everyone,” said Chris Jo, head of the webOS Platform Business Center at the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “By working with trusted news providers and powerful broadcasters across regions and continuously improving how users discover and access content, we are making local and national news more approachable, timely and meaningful within everyday viewing.”
LG Channels viewing time has increased in Mexico and Brazil as local news content becomes more available. In Mexico, major local broadcasters TV Azteca, Multimedios and Grupo Imagen joined LG Channels this year, strengthening its local news lineup. TV Azteca’s FIA has emerged as the most-watched channel among the 190 channels available on LG Channels in Mexico, underscoring strong demand for quality local news. These additions have driven a 95 percent year-over-year increase in viewing hours in Mexico.
In Brazil, LG Channels has expanded local news offerings with the launch of New Brasil in partnership with Grupo Bandeirantes – one of the country’s leading broadcasters – CNN Brasil, and Times Brasil – Licenciado Exclusivo CNBC. Since these launches, the platform’s viewing hours in Brazil have increased by more than 40 percent, with CNN Brasil the most-watched.
LG also continues to expand the availability of local news content on LG Channels across Europe. In markets like the U.K. and France, news partnerships have driven strong month-over-month growth, with double-digit increases in viewership. Currently, over 100 news channels including BFM TV (France), GB News (UK), CNN International (UK, Germany, Austria and Switzerland), CNN Headlines (available in 16 European countries), Bloomberg Television (UK), Euronews IN DIRETTA (Italy) and CNN en Español (Spain) are available, with more channels, such as France 24, scheduled to launch soon.
In Spain, LG Channels has added content through a landmark partnership with RTVE, the national public broadcaster. Viewers can now enjoy RTVE’s premium content for free, including flagship channels La 1, La 2 and Canal 24 Horas (24H) – the latter being a trusted source for real-time national and international news.
Strong local news content is increasing viewing time across other regions as well. In Australia, the addition of Sky News Australia, a leading national news network with a loyal viewership, has boosted engagement significantly. In Korea, local news from major outlets such as TV Chosun, JTBC, MBN, Channel A and YTN consistently garner the most viewing time among the 130 channels available on LG Channels.
In India, LG Channels offers a wide selection of FAST news channels to meet local demand for timely, diverse information. As of June 2025, news accounts for over 40 percent of all viewing time, with news channels dominating the platform’s top 10. LG Channels features over 40 news channels in eight regional languages. Among these, Aaj Tak is the most-watched nationwide, with other major Hindi-language channels including India TV, Republic Bharat, TV9 Bharatvarsh and NDTV India.

webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.
I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.
Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

Question
DeeDeee
My WebOS browser always crashes if I go onto the BBC news website. It is the only site I have this problem with. I've tried the usual solutions, clearing the history/cache/cookies and I don't think it is memory as I have no other problems. Ever so grateful for any suggestions. TIA.
