Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Haystack News: Local TV News, an app by Haystack News, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.

Haystack News feels a bit like having a customizable TV news channel right on your computer screen. With BlueStacks, it’s even easier to flip through options because you can use the bigger screen, and it’s surprisingly simple to pick what types of news show up. There’s a lot from local stations—more than you’d expect—so it’s not just the big national headlines but updates that actually matter for your city or even your neighborhood. Weather, breaking alerts, that kind of thing pops up quickly.

If someone likes following what’s going on in the world or wants news curated to their interests, Haystack offers ways to set up topics and channels, so you can get a news feed that covers everything from world events, financial updates, politics, or even tech entertainment, depending on what you’re into. All the stories pull in from recognizable networks like CBS, Bloomberg, Reuters, and a bunch of other familiar names. The live channels are right in the app, and jumping between them feels a lot like channel-surfing, except there’s less clutter and more control over what’s shown. Watching on a PC also just makes the video look better and scrolling around for new stories or sources is fast. There’s a ton of choice without any sign-ups or fees, so it’s good for anyone who just wants easy news updates without a lot of hassle.

Switch to BlueStacks and make the most of your apps on your PC or Mac.
