Sling TV is rolling out a new feature that integrates free streaming local broadcast television channels via Locast into its channel guide on AirTV Mini devices.

It means AirTV Mini users can stream local channels and affiliates like ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC within Sling TV without needing to use an antenna. Locast is a free service that relies on a statute within the Copyright Act to retransmit local broadcast signals. The company asks its users to contribute $5 per month – once they do, they’ll stop seeing donation requests every 15 minutes while they’re using the service.

For now, the Sling TV integration only available in the markets where Locast has launched.

Also mentioned is that Locast has expanded to Sacramento, California; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Orlando, Florida to its list of supported markets.
