Attention all KY3 viewers: If you rely on YouTube TV, Hulu, or Peacock to catch your favorite local news, you're in for a surprise. For the next few days, KY3 programming will not be available on these platforms via the NBC channel. But here's the silver lining: this isn't a permanent change, and it's not due to any contractual disputes. Instead, it's a technical hiccup that KY3 and NBC are working tirelessly to resolve. Engineers are optimistic that the issue will be fixed by the end of the week, so stay tuned for updates.
Now, you might be wondering, What can I watch in the meantime? Fear not! While KY3 programming is temporarily off these platforms, you can still enjoy NBC's regular lineup on YouTube TV, Hulu, and Peacock. Additionally, KY3 has you covered with alternative viewing options. Catch their newscasts simulcast on KSPR (ABC) at 5 a.m. - 7 a.m., 11 a.m., 4 p.m., 6 p.m., and 10 p.m. For the most dedicated viewers, every KY3 newscast is also available on KY3.com, the KY3 News App, and the KY3 apps on Roku, Fire, and Apple TV. So, even if your usual streaming service is missing KY3 for a few days, you won't have to miss a beat.
But here's where it gets controversial: In an age where streaming services dominate, technical glitches like this can feel like a step backward. Does this incident highlight the vulnerabilities of relying solely on digital platforms for local news? Or is it just a minor bump in the road? We'd love to hear your thoughts. Are you frustrated by this temporary outage, or do you appreciate the alternative options provided? Let us know in the comments below.
