The networks don't play nicely with others. Sometimes they'll allow specific programs to stream, but mostly they want to go the way of the dinosaur and not take advantage of technology and modern TV viewing.
Here's a list of what you can watch with Fire Stick:

Thanks. I looked for that and couldn't find it. I knew with CBS you had to pay. I'm just checking out the stations and I didn't expect this with ABC.
Assume you have internet since you have the fire stick...do a google search on "fire stick kodi"
Yes, cause piracy rocks. Pay for a service or don't use it.
You can't blame Amazon or the stick, it is the content provider that does this, probably with some deal with the cable companies. BUT you would think any network that broadcasts over the air for free wouldn't mind streaming their channel live for free.

I finally made the plunge to the Firestick. A lot of it is great BUT why when I go to abc.com I have to put in my cable provider to watch anything. Wasn't that the purpose of the Firestick to not have cable? Any answers anyone?
If you are watching Network shows.. channels that are generally "over the air" and free if you put an antenna on your house..
There is NO issue using KODI, and a service like SPINZTV..
It's an easy app to install, just takes some time to do depending on your upload speed.
Look for Kodi Krypton 17.3.. then look for directions to install SPINZTV Fury..
