DIRECTV on Monday will launch a multiview channel to cover Tuesday’s 2024 election results, featuring live feeds of Fox News, CNN, MSNBC and Newsmax. The channel, which will be the company’s first test of the multiview technology on streaming, will be available on DIRECTV Stream, DIRECTV Via Streaming and DIRECTV’s satellite service.

The four feeds will be available on one screen along with statistics from Senate and House races and state-by-state presidential data from the Associated Press. The multiview channel will be available across DIRECTV platforms from November 4 until the presidential election results are definitive, DIRECTV said today in an announcement.

DIRECTV streaming customers using a Gemini or Gemini Air device will have access to the same simultaneous news feeds but through a preloaded app that will automatically appear in their “Featured Apps” carousel. The company’s satellite subscribers with a Genie device will be able to access the multiview channel on channels 71 and 200.
