NYC TV Guide: Streaming & On-Demand Options

The New York Times has modernized its TV coverage, shifting from traditional TV grids to streaming and on-demand content, reflecting evolving viewing habits in NYC and nationwide. Accessing TV programming is no longer limited to scheduled broadcasts.

This change allows a single Arts section for both city and national subscribers, streamlining production and ensuring timely delivery.

While the traditional grid is gone, The Times still provides comprehensive TV coverage for NYC and beyond. The Sunday At Home section offers curated streaming options, highlighting platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Max. Online, readers find recaps, late-night highlights, and streaming previews.

The Watching newsletter, published four times weekly, guides readers through the vast landscape of TV content. This curated guide helps navigate streaming and on-demand choices, making it easier for New Yorkers to find shows they’ll enjoy.

The paper’s TV coverage has evolved from reviewing nearly every show to a more focused approach. Essays, critic’s notebooks, and curated lists like “The 50 Best Movies on Netflix Right Now” and “The 50 Best Things to Watch on Disney+ Right Now” help readers navigate the streaming era. These lists offer curated guides to the best content on popular platforms.
