Web Streaming for Cord Cutters - MSNBC / CNN /etc.

DU'ers may want to try free / ad-free https://1-DOT.com/poplinks - a new cord cutters minimalist replacement for an earlier streaming networks quick access web hub. It's a good MSNBC+CNN backup when Hulu, etc. doesn't work.

Most free and pay streaming links were moved to a 2nd screen (red up/down button).

The PopLinks mobile phone version omits most non-streaming links.
These non-streaming popular links are now at https://1-DOT.com/phone

The companion https://1-DOT.com/poplinks/tv-news-plus focuses directly on national and local news streaming options.

but sometimes you do want to see something on there. This is a great resource.

I cut the cord years ago. I was afraid of the loss of those news stations. But it hasn't hurt a bit, really.

This site, though, saves some rooting around for things.

My husband loves watching sports, but if we can find a good alternative streaming option we are ready to cut the cord. Any advice?

Do any DU'ers living or traveling outside the USA know if these streams work in Europe, Mexico, etc. ?

I tried this on a few browsers and computers. The main page may not look the same as the OP's image.

In Firefox, the stock ticker red X did not display. So, I could not replace the ticker with radio station buttons.

In Chrome or Microsoft Edge, screen resolution adjustment to 1360x768 or 1440x900 seemed best on higher resolution screens.

However, I run MX Linux and Tuxedo Linux. It might be different in Windows or MacOS.
