Livestation is a free software application that provides a range of live news television channels and radio stations (over 500) that can be received on a computer anywhere with a basic broadband connection. You can watch television on your desktop, or on your laptop, at home, at work, on the move, or in a hotel room, provided you have a broadband internet connection or wireless access.

Livestation allows you to receive live TV and radio news from the world's leading broadcasters on your PC, via a multi-channel interactive application on the desktop giving you a unique window on the world's news. You can watch Livestation full screen or minimised to fit in the corner of your screen, enabling you to carry on with other tasks while also keeping an eye on the news.
