There's a new way to get the latest local news from RTV6: Ask Alexa.
Alexa, the new intelligent-assistant platform on Amazon's Echo device will now allow listeners to listen to the latest local headlines from our newsroom delivered in Alexa’s very own custom voice.
If you are an Amazon Echo owner, just opt in to RTV6 in your Alexa app on your phone or tablet and ask Alexa to tell you the news.
Alexa, the Echo's personal assistant, will read five top local stories from RTV6. The briefing lasts around 90 seconds, and covers the top headlines at the time.
Here's how to get the feature on your Amazon Echo:
• Launch the Alexa app on your phone
• Choose Flash Briefing in Settings in the menu
• Select RTV6 Indianapolis
• Say, ‘Alexa, what's the news?” or “ Alexa, what is my flash briefing?” or “Alexa, give me the news."
