If you love the Cleveland area as much as we do, then you want all the latest local news and weather. Here's how to follow News 5 while at home or afar.
Streaming
You can catch us on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and other popular streaming apps. Email us at newsdesk@wews.com and make the subject line "STREAMING" if you have any questions about adding News 5 Cleveland to your streaming devices.
App
Our app is the most efficient way to get News 5 on your phone. Like the site, it’s where we post all of the latest news and weather and stream our shows live. The reason the app is great is that it's easy to find on your phone. We recommend you download it. Many people find it useful, especially when news is breaking locally or when we have bad weather.

Website
You can access www.news5cleveland.com on your computer, phone or tablet. Many of our readers bookmark the News 5 site and check it daily. Our site is where we post breaking news from Cleveland, Akron and Canton and surrounding areas, as well as our investigations, the latest weather, traffic, school closings, and other stories. Our newscasts are streamed online as well.
School Closings
Our website offers up-to-the-minute updates on school closures. If you’re a parent, teacher or administrator, you may want to bookmark this link: www.news5cleveland.com/weather/school-closings-delays. We also post school closings in our app, and we scroll school closings during our broadcasts on-air.
Television
We're the first and most awarded television station in the state of Ohio. We have morning shows, mid-day shows, early evening shows and a late-night broadcast. Our circle 5 logo is one of the most recognizable symbols in Cleveland, and our longtime viewers know this station’s proud history.
Social Media
You can find us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Tag us @news5cleveland to share your photos and videos with us. Heads up: you won't see all of our posts because social media platforms have suppressed news distribution on these channels in recent years. Your best bet to stay informed online is to check the app or website daily.

We often learn about news first—and receive photos and videos—from our diligent viewers and readers who care about Northeast Ohio as deeply as we do.
