Getting local news streaming channels while moving every 3 weeks throughout the USA?

We live fulltime in a motorhome and move around every three weeks. How do I setup Direct TV stream to update to local channels based on where we are. We are very concerned that we will miss local weather or other warnings if we cannot watch local news channel networks. I stream through a ROKU 4K device using whatever cell carrier is strongest or Starlink for our internet service.

Frustrated in Florida (at the moment)

You need a streaming device that has location services or GPS. Fire Sticks and Roku do not have these services. You need a mobile device like a cell phone, PC, or tablet. All Apple products have location services.

Yikes! What is the workaround if I do not have a device, even if I did why would I need to go through the hassle of mirroring to my TV? What a pain in the A. There must be another solution but thanks!

There is no other solution. Of course most stations have an app you can download and offer live news.
