KTLA is introducing KTLA+, its new streaming video app for smart TV platforms that has officially launched on Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV devices.

In addition to regularly scheduled live newscasts and other programming from KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles, the station’s free app features live breaking news and in-depth coverage, clips of the day’s top videos and a browsable archive.

Exclusive content that will only appear for KTLA+ users is coming soon.

“Viewers today have so many choices for content, and it’s more important than ever to meet viewers where they are, with what they want, on their devices — basically, on their terms,” said Janene Drafs, the station’s vice president and general manager.

Parts of this is Nexstar getting ready to launch News Nation on the national level. Also KTLA is doing this in response to go after CBSN Los Angeles in the TV apps. Yes this is similar to how Nexstar has issued a TV streaming app for the Bay Area called KRON-ON as part of a response to go after CBS Bay Area for TV apps. Also Nexstar is trying to show that they are not dependent on traditional cable to investors
