COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina ETV (SCETV) is now live streaming ETV-HD on Local Now, a free streaming service for local news and entertainment, adding an additional way for viewers to access SCETV content whenever and wherever they are.
Local Now's audience will now have access to inspiring and educational content from SCETV's locally-produced shows, along with other PBS favorites– including PBS Newshour, Frontline and Antiques Roadshow.
SCETV and additional participating PBS stations will make Local Now available to audiences in more than 300 markets and cities across the country, with the full launch completed by the end of this year.
