Most of the news channels can be streamed live for free, and most don't even buffer. All you need is to make a simple text file with the coding that follows, and rename the file extension from .txt to .m3u
Double click and it should bring up your VLC Media Player. To change channels press the "P" (Previous) or "N" (Next) keys.
Simple as that...
(Occasionally one of these links packs up though, so it's not perfect.)
Also note that the proper Fox News channel at the end is very small in size (very low bandwidth), but since it's not usually available free anywhere, who cares :- )

Anyone want SABC News, maybe SABC Sport as well? All legal.

I mean technically you can do that by turning on a TV, but you'd probably need an antenna

Find a working set top box ...
Sorry, messed up the Fox Live-Now (offers headlines only) and NHK Japan links, now fixed.
Note that Russia Today (RT) links are added as DStv doesn't give people the choice, just some lame excuse instead.

My 5 year old Samsung 4K TV probably also has a digital tv tuner. Never bothered to check.
Search for iptvcat
You can get all kinds of links that are free channels. You can create a playlist with the channels you want and stick it in VLC to watch

More than likely does
Those aren't always stable, and some suspected of being illegal hijacked sources.
I recently came across just such a site, even had free top DStv channels - no thanks, not going in that direction.
But otherwise, yes there are plenty of legally available links for other channels of value. Also, here's a couple of sites that host worldwide streaming;

DStv Stream is a farce! It bombs out on most live TV.
I'm quite happy with UK TV at least I get value for my UK TV Licence!

Frikkie is probably unaware that the kingpins from Waka are Russian. Don't drink the tea!!
