FOX 28 Columbus helps you follow local and national news while checking weather and traffic information in the same app. It combines news coverage and sports with live newscasts, breaking news alerts, and forecasts for planning the day. That mix is useful when you want to catch a broadcast, check developing stories, or review conditions before heading out. Hourly and daily forecasts provide different planning horizons, while live radar adds a current view of weather patterns in your area. Notification preferences let you tailor which news and event alerts you receive.
News coverage with live viewing
The app covers local and national happenings alongside sports. Live streaming lets you watch newscasts within the app, providing a broadcast option in addition to its news updates. Breaking news notifications can bring important developments to your phone without requiring you to keep checking for new coverage.
Forecasts, radar, and traffic
The weather section includes hourly and daily forecasts, so you can review near-term conditions or look ahead. Live weather radar complements those forecasts with real-time information about weather patterns in your area. Traffic information and alerts sit alongside the weather tools, bringing together details that may be useful before a trip.
Choose which alerts reach you
Notification settings allow you to customize the types of news and event alerts you receive. This gives you a way to focus notifications on topics that matter to you, while keeping the app’s broader news coverage available when you open it.
Free access to the app
FOX 28 Columbus is free to download and use. Its combination of live viewing, news updates, and practical weather tools suits readers who want these services together rather than checking separate sources for each task.
