Missed the news bulletin, or stuck away from the TV when a big story breaks? K24 TV, the Mediamax Network station, can be watched live on your phone or laptop for free, as well as on an ordinary TV. Here are the legal ways to catch it.
1. Watch K24 Live on YouTube
The easiest option on a phone. K24 runs its official YouTube channel, K24TV (about 1.4 million subscribers), which carries live streams of news and shows plus clips you can replay later.
- Open the YouTube app or go to youtube.com/@K24tv.
- Tap the Live tab on the channel page.
- Choose the stream marked LIVE. If there is none, the station is not streaming at that moment; check the latest uploads instead.
Subscribe and tap the bell icon to get a notification when K24 goes live.
2. Follow K24 on Its Website
K24’s news website is k24.digital. It carries the latest stories, video and a link to the YouTube channel. This is the official home of K24 online, so use it rather than unknown “K24 live” sites.
3. Watch on Your TV
K24 is a free-to-air station, so you do not need a subscription to watch it on a TV:
- Digital TV or set-top box: if you can’t find K24, run a channel scan (often called “auto search” or “rescan”) in your TV or decoder menu. Not sure how digital TV works? See what is digital TV.
- Pay-TV decoders (DStv, GOtv, StarTimes, Zuku): channel numbers change from time to time, so check the TV guide on your decoder or the provider’s website for K24’s current position.
Tips and Warnings
Avoid “free live TV” apps and websites that are not run by K24. Many are pirate streams full of pop-up adverts and can carry malware. Stick to the official YouTube channel and k24.digital.
Streaming video eats data. An hour of live video can use several hundred megabytes, depending on quality. Lower the quality in YouTube settings (for example to 360p) if you are on a small bundle.
