ABC Player App To Live-Stream Local Affiliate Stations

CultofMac reports that ABC is updating its ABC Player app by including a new live button that allows users to view live-stream local TV, as long as they are a current cable subscriber. The live button will be available this week, but only for New York and Philadelphia users, at first. ABC will bring live streams to six more cities this summer and is currently in talks with 200 additional affiliates. The live stream capability provides users with the option to watch current TV from anywhere within their local market.
