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.”

From Seoul to Beijing to Madrid, our colleagues are building careers in diverse ways across the globe. Now, for the first time, their stories and opportunities are gathered in one place. With our new
link hidden, please login to view, candidates can explore openings worldwide and hear directly from employees about what life at LG is really like. A Gateway to Global Talent
We created this platform to make it easier for candidates everywhere to discover opportunities across our 57 countries and 88 subsidiaries. Instead of only spotlighting a few offices, we’re bringing together a wide range of roles and local insights, so people can explore different paths and see where they might thrive.
We also wanted to provide context for each opportunity. Knowing what a job entails is important, but understanding the environment, team culture and daily routines can make a real difference when choosing a career. Our platform gives candidates a more complete picture of what working with us can feel like.
Finding the Right Role Made Simple
We’ve organized the platform into four main sections to make exploring opportunities intuitive:
Jobs – lists openings from all over the world, helping candidates compare roles and consider new possibilities. Locations – introduces workplace culture, benefits and what makes each site unique, giving candidates a sense of life in different regions. Teams – provides insights into our many functions through interviews and stories from employees, showing how different roles contribute to LG’s work. About Us – shares background on our business areas, values and direction, helping candidates connect with what we do and why. This approach helps candidates go beyond a typical job description, giving them the context they need to explore a career path that aligns with their interests and strengths.
Real Voices from Around the World
One of our favorite features is the collection of 347 career stories from employees abroad. Whether in Spain, China or the U.S., these first-hand accounts share what daily work is like, how careers have developed and why people chose to build their path with LG.
Through these stories, candidates can glimpse real experiences – from tackling challenges on global projects to collaborating across borders. Hearing directly from colleagues about personal growth and team dynamics gives a sense of the human side of our organization.
Seamless for Candidates, Smarter for Recruiters
We designed the platform to be inclusive and easy to use, supporting 16 languages, including English, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic. Applications are presented in the user’s preferred language, making the process smoother and more approachable for candidates worldwide.
For our recruiters, the system provides integrated tools that help us match workforce needs with available talent, giving teams the flexibility to find the right people at the right time. It also supports planning for future growth, helping us respond to evolving business needs.
Connecting People and Possibilities
This platform is more than a job site. It’s a place to explore opportunities, hear real stories and discover how a career at LG can grow in new directions.
At LG, we believe that Life’s Good starts with the people who make it possible. By helping candidates connect with the right opportunities, we aim to create work experiences that are meaningful, fulfilling and truly rewarding.

Question
GMosley
I have three LG Smart TVs in my home. I have a Windows 11 PC with videos on the hard drive. It seems like I should be able to connect to the PC videos from any one of the TVs. When I "show all inputs" on the TV, the PC shows up. When I select it, I get the message "Device not connected". All devices are connected to the home wifi network. I also have LG's SmartShare running on the PC and the video folder has been selected for sharing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
