The remote for your next LG smart TV might include a dedicated news button.

Starting next year, the updated remote for LG Smart TVs will have a button for Haystack News – a free, ad-supported streaming service with content from over 400 local, national, and international news sources. Smart TVs running webOS 25 or later will also get access to the News Portal, a hub for Haystack News, live news, podcasts, and other content from major news outlets.
