How to Watch WJBK (Fox Channel 2) Without Cable

local-channels › wjbk in detroit • February 28, 2025 • Staff

While channel 2 used to be CBS for Detroit residents, it then switched affiliations to Fox in 1994. It’s also the best place for NFL fans to catch up on the Detroit Lions, and of course, it’s the channel most people watch for morning news.

However, since WJBK broadcasts VHF instead of UHF, it can be tough to connect to the channel depending on your antenna. But you don’t need to replace your antenna or rely on cable at all– all you have to do is check out the streamers that have it. We’ve listed them below.

You can watch FOX WJBK - Detroit, MI without cable on Sling Orange, DirecTV Stream, Hulu with Live TV, Fubo, or YouTube TV.

DirecTV Stream

Named the "best all-around streaming service for cord-cutters" by Rolling Stone, DirecTV Stream tries to be all the good things about cable without any of the hassle. It has a big selection of channels, possibly the best stream quality in the market, and great DVR capability. For example, unlike with competitor Youtube TV, your DVR recordings on DirecTV will be the same quality as the live stream (often in 4K). The service also comes with a decent monthly price tag, and Netflix-style practicality that allows you to stream Live TV from anywhere by downloading the app. Within your home, you can stream on up to 20 devices (!), and from outside your home you can stream on up to three devices.
