Roku just added six free channels covering classic sitcoms, reality TV, and films.

Roku just added six free channels covering classic sitcoms, reality TV, and films. Roku is quietly building one of the best free streaming lineups out there. If you have been looking for more reasons to love your Roku device, here is a good one. Roku has quietly expanded The Roku Channel with six brand new free channels, available right now on all Roku TVs and streaming players. This latest addition brings the platform's already expansive library, which covers hundreds of live channels and thousands of on-demand titles, even further. What are the six new free channels on Roku? Here is the full list of what just landed on The Roku Channel: * Channel 313: Rawhide * Channel 314: The Beverly Hillbillies * Channel 624: Ink Master * Channel 815: Toso.o * Channel 978: MTV en Español * Channel 6036: Westerns Recommended Videos According to Cord Cutters, the new additions cover a genuinely varied mix of genres. Rawhide brings the iconic black-and-white Western featuring a young Clint Eastwood in an early breakout role, while The Beverly Hillbillies delivers the beloved 1960s sitcom about the oil-rich Clampett family adjusting to life in Beverly Hills. Ink Master serves up back-to-back episodes of the high-pressure tattoo competition series. Channel 6036 is a dedicated hub for classic Western films and series, MTV en Español caters to Spanish-speaking audiences with music videos and Latin entertainment, and Toso.o rounds out the lineup as the most mysterious addition of the bunch. What else has Roku been up to lately? This latest drop follows an already busy stretch for Roku. Last month, the platform added 16 new free channels and announced a partnership with Amazon Prime Video to offer Howdy, its new subscription service, to Prime Video subscribers. Gil Fuchsberg, President of Subscriptions, Partnerships, and Corporate Development at Roku, described the company's direction as making great entertainment more accessible. With six more free channels now live, that mission seems well on track.
