About FOX 5 New York and its newscasts

WNYW is FOX’s flagship station in New York and one of the network’s most important local newsrooms. It is owned directly by FOX Television Stations and shares the market with sister station WWOR-TV.

The weekday stream starts early with Good Day Wake Up, hands over to the long-running morning show Good Day New York, and moves through The Noon, The News Block and the 5 and 6 o’clock evening newscasts. The station’s signature late newscast is The 10 O’Clock News, followed by Good Night New York. Between shows, Newsroom Live and LiveNOW from FOX keep the feed running.

On weekends you will find Good Day Weekend, Good Day Street Talk, FOX Weather coverage and evening newscasts. Programming can shift for breaking news and big weather events, so the live player is always the best place to see what is on right now.

Because FOX 5’s coverage area spans three states, the morning hours lean heavily on traffic, transit and weather. The station’s New Jersey reporting is also gathered under the FOX 5+ banner on its website.

If the FOX 5 New York stream won’t play

Live feeds occasionally drop for a few seconds when the station switches programs or restarts the stream. If the player above shows an error, refresh the page first. If that doesn’t help, use the official button above to open the stream on fox5ny.com, which always points to the station’s current feed.

Script and ad blockers can stop YouTube embeds from loading, so try pausing them for this page. Some segments may be limited for rights reasons, and when breaking news from across the five boroughs, New Jersey and Long Island hits, this stream is typically where FOX 5’s extended live coverage runs.
