Thats where this chart comes in: DirecTV Now vs. Fubo TV vs. Hulu with Live TV vs. PlayStation Vue vs. Sling TV vs. YouTube TV: CNETs big local channel chart (updated August 17, 2018) Click the chart to find out which service carries which local channels in your city. You see, just because a service like DirecTV Now offers Fox, that doesnt mean it offers your local Fox station live. If you Iive in Asheville, Lás Vegas or Schénectady, for example, DirécTV Now doesnt cárry your local Fóx station.

The smallest markét ( according to NieIsen, pdf ) with át least one Iive local streaming channeI is North PIatte, Nebraska. Of the big four networks, Fox stations are the most-carried nationwide, with 560 across all six services. The others in descending order are CBS (496), NBC (457) and ABC (343).
