“I have the Fire Stick with Alexa Voice Remote, but I can not get the local Columbus, OH channels, CBS, NBC, or ABC. Is there a way to get those channels for local news and weather. What I get now is NY, PA, etc.”

I can't answer that particular question as I am still learning about all this Cut the Cable stuff. I had noticed that some of the streaming services that I did a free trial with did not seem to have much in the way of local channels. So I decided to go with a Mohu Leaf 30 Antenna to get the OTA (over the air) channels and it works great. I get all the local channels in my area plus a possible 60 plus channels total and they come in with a really good picture. This might be a good way to go and they also have a Mohu Curve 50 which is amplified and looks really nice. It is something you could put on a shelf and it looks good. The leaf 30 has a range of 30 miles and the 50 has a 50 mile range. Hope that helps!! That way you have the best of both worlds. You have your streaming over the Fire Stick and your local channels and more on your Antenna....it's for me the best way to go!!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When you set up your fire stick did you put in your location and ZIP Code in your account

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you know someone who can download KODI on it, you can get almost everything, including movies
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would go to the apps and get things like CBS NOW or you could get some of those channels on Hulu or something similar. Good luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Either an antenna or I pay to use DirecTV Now to access news stations.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Depends what streaming service you're using. I have DirectvNow and I get all of my local channels in the NYC area except for CBS.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Have you checked with the SlingTV and DirecTV Now apps? Their website allows you to type in your zip code and it will provide details regarding what local channels you will be able to access through their services. Unfortunately you must have a subscription to access these, as the streaming platforms are not free, but they both have apps that can be installed on the Amazon Fire Stick for use with their services.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
