Local Now
Hyperlocal news and weather, streamed to every screen — powered by dotstudioPRO.
Full CTV + mobile app suite, live nationally
AVOD monetization running at scale
Continuous platform updates without internal dev resources
Localized content delivery across hundreds of markets
The Challenge
Local Now needed to deliver a free, ad-supported streaming experience across major CTV and mobile platforms — one that could handle live linear channels, localized content delivery, and scale nationally without a bloated engineering org.
The Solution
dotstudioPRO built and maintains Local Now's full OTT infrastructure — spanning Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, iOS, and Android — with a white-label app stack that puts Local Now's brand front and center on every screen.
- Multi-platform native apps from a single managed codebase
- FAST/AVOD infrastructure with linear channel support
- CMS for content scheduling, metadata management, and distribution
- Ad management integration for programmatic AVOD monetization
- Ongoing platform maintenance, updates, and support
The Result
Local Now operates at national scale across all major streaming platforms, delivering localized news and weather to millions of viewers — without the overhead of building or maintaining an in-house engineering team.
