This page is dedicated to Roku's lineup of live TV, which includes news, sports, and other programming. Roku separates the ordinary streaming programming from the live TV programming on the web, so you'll want to bookmark both pages so you can browse them later.

The channel includes free television programs and a rotating selection of free feature-length movies. There's also a limited selection of live TV and live sports. These shows are streamed as they're broadcast, and you don't have the ability to control playback or restart these from the beginning.
