Level News Discontinuation Notice

We regretfully announce that Level News service will be discontinued as of September 30, 2023. Access for existing subscribers will continue until that date. No new trials or subscriptions are available. Existing customers with a balance of time available on their monthly subscription will automatically receive a pro rata refund for the balance of time remaining.

We created Level News to address the opportunity to deliver quality, balanced TV news at a low price. We believe this service is important, as it fills a gap for TV news as U.S. households increasingly drop their cable TV service.

We have attracted a small, loyal audience and know that many people rely on us for their daily news. However, we have been unable to attain a sufficient number of subscribers or attract adequate financial support to sustain the costs of operating the service. We will continue to look for solutions over the coming days and will post any announcement here if our plans change.

Thank you to our customers and partners for all your support.
