Just checked with Hulu Plus and it doesn’t have currant news,
just shows.
Cable is on the pole at one corner of our property. When the
power company put in a new pole and transformer for the new shop, the cable guy came over and gave me two full rolls of the high capacity co-ax which we ran underground with the new
400 amp service. We’re all set for cable.
If you are after the cable news channels, then you will likely have to get TV service from the cable company. No alternatives that I know of. I cut DirecTV some time ago, but I get pretty much all of my news from the internet anyhow.
Check your local cable companies most basic package. Typically they offer a barebones slate of channels and what you are willing to live with just might be on it.
BTW, what part of Oregon are you in?
