If there is a search option on this app, I can’t find it. It would be useful to be able to search for stories.

NBC Bay Area and other news apps refresh when launched on AppleTV. Your app does not and therefore hangs and does not load. I have to force close the app every morning. I don’t have a Disney+ sub so I cannot watch there.
