With football over until the fall, Zeam is a free option for local news if you decide to cancel your live-tv subscription.
One of the main reasons that many people resist completely cutting the cord is that they still want to have some connection to the local news and content that they are accustomed to without having to pay increasingly exorbitant live TV streaming subscription fees. Therefore, many people opt to stick with the increasingly exorbitant pay-tv subscription fees that they are used to. However, there is a new streaming service that provides free, local content from around the country that just might make it easier for consumers to ditch pay TV altogether. Over the weekend, the free, live-streaming service Zeam officially launched, designed to be the ultimate compliment to binge-watching titles from subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services.
Key Points: New free, locally focused streaming service Zeam is now available to download.

Local Streaming Startup Zeam Hopes That John Stamos Can Introduce It to a Crowded Market (Exclusive)
Can local TV make the jump to streaming? A startup called Zeam is betting that it can, and it plans to use Super Bowl Sunday and actor John Stamos to help introduce itself to the market.
Launched by the local TV tech firm Syncbak (which in turn is backed by the local TV station owner Gray TV, the National Association of Broadcasters, Morgan Murphy Media and others), Zeam will combine local news, sports and other content, with founder Jack Perry describing it as a “place to land” after people binge other content.
In a twist to the traditional Super Bowl ad, Zeam will be buying ad space in more than 100 local markets during the game, with Stamos surprising viewers by addressing each market specifically (think, “Hey Des Moines!”). The company is planning an eight-figure marketing campaign, kicking off with its Super Bowl Sunday effort.

Darby Allin is the resident daredevil of All Elite Wrestling (Aew), but the self-belief required to take such dangerous risks didn’t apply to all aspects of his career evenly. It does now.
A leap of faith off a 20-foot ladder comes a lot more naturally to Allin than speaking with conviction on a microphone. Now a self-anointed “promo guy,” Allin finally believes in the full scope of his talents. It’s an exciting development for an artist who walks, skates and freefalls to the beat of his own drum. Allin challenges for the Aew World Heavyweight Championship — the company’s top prize — at Sunday’s “Double or Nothing” event, headlining a card chock-full of legends like Chris Jericho, Christian Cage and Bryan Danielson.
“At one time, when Aew first started, I probably would have thought I wasn’t ready for that,” Allin tells Et Canada. “I thought I didn...
