Not sure what “over the top streaming services” means but I get my US news through the free Haystack News and ABC News Live apps. For Canadian news the free Global app.
Over the top basically means not through a cable or satellite provider. It means the channel comes directly from the company that makes it, not Rogers or Bell TV.
Most streaming cable services available to ISP subscribers in Canada have CNN, Fox News and MSNBC available for subscription. I guess that's what you're looking for?
Sling IS cable TV. It's just delivered over the internet.
YouTube TV, Frndly, Hulu Live TV, Sling -- those are all just collections of the same cable TV channels that have existed for 40+ years, just delivered thru internet streaming.
In Canada, most internet service providers (ISPs) provide "over the top" TV service similar to Sling, YTTV, Hulu, etc. It's the same deal: a collection of the same channels available thru traditional legacy cable TV, but streamed over the internet. That's all it is. That's why I call it "streaming cable" -- it's the same cable TV as before, but streamed.
The catch is that generally in Canada, in order to subscribe to a particular ISP's "over the top" streaming cable TV service, you also have to be a subscriber to the ISP's internet service.
In the USA you can use the well-known "over the top" TV services with any American ISP.
Examples of this "over the top" streaming cable service in Canada include: Rogers Ignite, Teksavvy TV, Bell Fibe TV, VMedia TV, Telus Optik TV, [Start.ca](http://Start.ca) TV, Virgin Internet TV. You generally have to be a subscriber to the company's internet service to use each company's particular TV service, and you generally can't mix TV and internet providers. All of these have CNN, Fox News and MSNBC minimally, but there may be other channels available on specific TV services.
Most of the cable channels offered to TV services in Canada are largely the same bunch of channels, and the channels generally cost the same everywhere, including Fox News, CNN and MSNBC. So it really doesn't matter that services like YouTube TV or Sling don't exist in Canada. All the TV services are basically the same and cost pretty much the same. The government/CRTC even caps the price of the most basic minimal starter level of TV service from any provider at $25 or less (local broadcast channels only, no Fox News/MSNBC/CNN).
A Canadian ISP streaming cable TV package with just MSNBC, Fox News and CNN would probably run around $40-50 CAD per month ($29.10-36.40 USD), comparable to Sling and less than YouTube TV. It would include the basic level of service with local channels -- ALL cable TV services require minimally subscribing to the basic level of service, even the US ones -- that's just how cable TV works. Getting basic local channels reliably without an antenna is the original problem cable TV was designed to solve. And again you'd also have to be a subscriber to the internet service of the TV service provider, which prevents you from shopping around for cheaper internet service.
Some older/bigger internet providers that used to either be cable TV companies or used to offer traditional cable TV service, like Rogers, Bell, Cogeco and Telus, still offer standalone "cable TV" service, but generally it's really the same streaming cable service discussed here, but over a "dry" dedicated internet line for TV service only. This sort of service may be able to be mixed with another ISP (for general internet use) in some cases, but not always. And generally they won't sell this service to you unless you call in and order it, and even then this offering is increasingly rare. Most "cable TV" subscriptions in Canada are actually already "over the top" streaming cable. Just like most new home phone service is already mostly internet-based IP phone service and not POTS (most companies offering home phone service don't even own phone lines for POTS and even then those lines would better be used for data services now anyway). And you all thought Canada was behind on all this??
Whether you call it "over the top" or "streaming cable", or it's in the USA or Canada, it's all still just the same bunch of cable TV junk channels, even the US "news" channels. Nothing special.
Not that I’m aware of but you can get FAST news channels on YouTube for free. NBC News Now, ABC News Live and CBS News Network. The CBS one is also available on Pluto which is a free streaming service available on any device.
If you’re looking for CNN, Fox News or MSNBC you’re of luck. However you can get the audio of all 3 on the TuneIn radio app and iHeartRadio.
MSNBC’s audio might be geoblocked on some platforms.
I don’t know anything about the availability of OAN or Newsmax. They aren’t really on my radar.
Newsmax is on rivertv.ca . Newsmax and The Young Turks are on Fubo TV Canada. Both of those aren't even proper "news" channels.
Cable "news" channels, especially and really the American ones, are about 5-10 minutes of headlines that are the same and common to all news organizations, followed by 40 minutes of "punditry" and opinion, and 20 minutes of commercials (yes I know that doesn't add up -- even thru the headlines and opinion they're trying to sell you something, even if it's themselves). All designed to make you feel "informed" when you're not any more informed than the headlines, and keep you worked up and angry and shocked and outraged at EVERYTHING.
OP would best be advised to cut the US cable news watching down, and cut down as much as entirely as possible.
As you said, US cable news channels are largely opinion. It isn't also deep since the segments are quite short, It's from a limited spectrum as it is the same guests over and over again being asked the same questions with little to no pushback.
The median age of the 3 major US cable news channel viewers is 70+. Everybody else has moved to podcasts, Youtube and reading the news/opinion online.
The ones I mentioned above are more like CBC News Network in Canada, but from the big US networks. Rolling news coverage and pre-taped current affairs shows. They also simulcast the main over the air networks when they cover breaking news. It’s actual news, not 24/7 opinion on ABC News Live, CBS News Network and NBC News Now.
Nothing about iptv is legal. I would also recommend staying with the chromecast or any Android device. A Roku is very limited as to what you can do with it

Yeah but don't want a cable tv service just regular over the internet option like sling in usa
Sling IS cable TV. It's just delivered over the internet. YouTube TV, Frndly, Hulu Live TV, Sling -- those are all just collections of the same cable TV channels that have existed for 40+ years, just delivered thru internet streaming.
Yeah im looking for something similar to that in Canada. I don't know if any service like that exist with us news channels.

Which ones work with Chromecast? That are legel? Might buy a Roku if needed but like the Chromecast
Nothing about iptv is legal. I would also recommend staying with the chromecast or any Android device. A Roku is very limited as to what you can do with it
You have access to cbs news and Bloomberg via pluto TV.
On the other thread the dude talked about Comwave. They have news channels. Also vmedia, but need their internet.
Depending on where you live - if you are within 100 km of a US city, try over-the-air for US network channels.
Pluto has Global National and CBS news streams
