Is Extra News down right now?
Check the live Extra News status near the top of this page before touching your settings. News junkies keep this channel running all day, so a genuine fault draws reports within minutes. A surge in Extra News down reports during a big story means the channel stream is under strain or down. Flat reports with a silent app on your phone point to a local fault instead.
Open extranews.tv in your browser even if you normally use the app. A stream that plays on the site but not in the app isolates the fault to the app build. A stream dead in both places marks a wider Extra News outage.
Is Extra News down for me or everyone?
Switch your phone between Wi-Fi and mobile data and reload the live page on each. One working route means the other network is blocking or starving the stream. Two dead routes suggest the channel side is at fault.
What does the Extra News live stream carry all day?
The stream runs the channel around the clock, with news bulletins, headline rounds and live coverage of events as they happen. Press conferences and official statements often air in full, without waiting for the next bulletin. Talk programmes in the evening dig into the day politics, economy and sport. Correspondents file live hits from across Egypt and Arab capitals through the schedule. Their reports feed both the television bulletins and the stream at the same moment.
A breaking news ticker crawls along the screen with the newest lines. During open coverage of a major event, regular programmes give way to the live picture for hours.
How does the Extra News app live listening work?
The app offers a radio-style mode that plays the channel sound without the video picture. It suits listeners on the move and uses far less data. South African listeners on the move who use less data check the Eyewitness News status page when the homepage crawls.
Where does the app gather its written news from?
Alongside its own channel stories, the app pulls headlines from partner Egyptian news sites into one feed. That single feed suits readers who want several newspaper angles on one developing story. Tapping a headline opens the full piece from the outlet that published it.
Can I get Extra News alerts for breaking stories?
The app sends push alerts when the desk flags a story as breaking. Alerts need notification permission for the app inside your phone settings.
Common Extra News Problems and Fixes
Extra News faults split between the website player and the mobile app, so first pin down which one fails. Test the live broadcast again after each fix below.
Restart an app that crashes as it opens
Close the app fully from your recent apps list, then open it again after a short pause. An update waiting in the store often carries the crash fix itself.
Wake the live listening mode when it stays silent
Check the phone media volume first, since listening mode uses that channel, not the ringtone slider. Toggle the live button off and on to rebuild the audio stream.
Fix a website player that buffers through bulletins
Drop the stream quality one level in the player settings during busy news hours. A fresh load of the live page after these steps usually holds a steady picture.
Restore breaking news alerts that stopped arriving
Open phone settings and confirm notifications are allowed for the Extra News app. Inside the app, check the alert switches are still on after any update.
Reload a ticker that stopped moving
The on-screen ticker updates from the live feed, so a frozen ticker hints the stream itself stalled. Reload the live page to pull a fresh feed with the newest lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Extra News part of the CBC group?
Yes. Extra News is the news channel of the CBC group, working alongside the main CBC Egypt channel. This page tracks the Extra News stream and app.
What should I do first in an Extra News outage?
Test the website stream and the app one after the other during an Extra News outage. If only one works, use it and wait for the other to recover. If both fail, the fault sits with the channel and reports here will show it.
Does the Extra News app work outside Egypt?
Yes. The app live broadcast and listening mode open for viewers abroad in most places.
How do I stop Extra News alerts waking me at night?
Use your phone quiet hours or do-not-disturb setting, which silences app alerts overnight. You can also switch alerts off inside the app.
Why does the Extra News stream slow down during big events?
Major events pull a huge audience to the live feed at the same moment. The stream slows under that shared load even on a strong home connection.
Can I listen to Extra News without watching video?
Yes. The app includes a live listening mode that plays the channel sound alone. It uses much less data than the video stream and suits driving or working hours.
