Today marks the one year anniversary of the launch of the free streaming service STIRR. Since launching, STIRR has exceeded 1.6 million app downloads and now offers 100 linear channels.
To celebrate the anniversary of the app, STIRR announces that they will be adding a live 2020 election coverage channel. The channel will add to the already substantial collection of digital first news channels available for free on the platform.
Here’s how STIRR describes the channel:
Launching the week of January 20th, the new 2020 LIVE channel will offer a continuous stream of live election coverage, giving viewers live access to daily campaign event feeds from across the country, including town hall meetings and stump speeches. This coverage will be presented without any commentary, giving viewers the most transparent, bias-free view into the campaign trail.
“STIRR’s offering of live, local news content reflects that its purpose isn’t to solely entertain, but to serve members of local communities and provide information that impacts their lives,” said Sinclair CEO Chris Ripley. “We’re incredibly proud of the growth and success the platform has seen throughout the year, and look forward to providing users with more value. With the addition of local broadcast TV syndication programming coming to the platform, we’re excited for what the next year has in store for STIRR.”
Later in Q1, STIRR will add post-broadcast, on demand viewing for popular syndicated TV shows including Judge Judy, Dr. Phil, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, and many more. The syndicated TV shows originally aired by the Sinclair broadcast station will be available to viewers depending on location.
