Critics' Consensus

“Locast provides free access to local broadcast stations in nine major U.S. cities, offering a convenient supplement for cord-cutters. However, its limited geographic coverage, frequent ads for non-members, and inability to fully replace cable restrict its appeal to a niche audience.”

“If enough viewers see it as worthy of a $5 per month subscription (since it is essentially unwatchable otherwise), and if the courts view that as a necessary fee, then Locast may be around for a while.”
