Roku adds a bunch of new linear channels to its offering

If you own a Roku device, you probably don’t care about the recent price hikes in the streaming service market. Obviously, you can watch services that require a subscription on a Roku device, but that’s not why you should buy one.

Currently, The Roku Channel offers an impressive lineup of over 400 channel options to choose from, and what’s even better is that many of them are free to watch. Roku adds new channels every month, so the service becomes more valuable over time.

A total of 9 new linear entertainment channels have been added to Roku: Lionsgate’s Dabl Ebony TV, Laff More, Insider Edition, Mixible, PBS Food, SNL Vault, TruBlu Crime Channel and Universal Monsters.
