OzarksFirst+ brings KOLR's Springfield newscast to the living-room TV.

FOX21+ KXRM gives Colorado Springs a TV-shaped news loop that finally fits the room.
Nexstar's Pikes Peak FOX affiliate ships a free Roku channel that does the local-news job — weather, traffic, the 9pm newscast on replay — without asking you to learn anything new.

You Share Video is a small utility channel asking to be taken on faith.
A generically named video-sharing tool from a small developer, released late 2025. The premise is reasonable; the surface area you can verify before installing is not.

Life.Church TV brings the megachurch livestream to the living-room screen.
The Oklahoma multi-site church behind YouVersion ports its weekend services and message archive to Roku. The channel is plain by design, and that suits the material.

Writers Guild FYC is a credential, not a channel.
The WGA's awards-screening room on Roku exists for one audience and ignores everyone else. Judged on its own narrow terms, it does the job.
MAY 10, 2026
KXNEWS+ does the one job a local-news channel has to do.
Nexstar's Bismarck CBS affiliate ships a free, ad-supported Roku channel built around the 5pm and 10pm newscasts. It is small, focused, and exactly what a North Dakota household actually wants on the TV.
MAY 10, 2026
JET 24 on Roku puts Erie's ABC affiliate on the living-room TV.
WJET's Roku channel is a serviceable second screen for the Erie, Pennsylvania market — free, ad-supported, and built around the same Nexstar template that powers dozens of local-news channels on the platform.
MAY 10, 2026
AMCC TV brings a small-college conference to the living room.
A free Roku channel from the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference, built for the families and alumni who would otherwise be squinting at a laptop tab during a Tuesday-night volleyball match.
MAY 10, 2026
Diverseego is a free travel channel that asks very little of you.

MAY 10, 2026
123movies on Roku borrows a notorious name, and the channel doesn't explain itself.
A free movies-and-TV channel from a developer called Grades Genius, published in late 2025, with no public description and a name lifted from one of the most-blocked piracy domains of the past decade. Proceed with eyes open.
MAY 10, 2026
SCI Tv Networks is a small Roku channel that tells you almost nothing before you install it.
A free, recently-published Animals & Pets channel from a publisher of the same name. Three screenshots, no public description, and a single five-star rating that is doing more work than it should.
MAY 10, 2026
Fireside Comfort turns the TV into a competent fake fireplace.
A $2.99 ambient loop channel from Storm Jam LLC. It does the one thing it advertises, and the question is whether you want that thing badly enough to pay for it instead of using YouTube.
MAY 10, 2026
Curiosity University is a thin Roku listing with an unverified promise.
An educational channel from Curiosity Inc., released late 2025 with no store description, no review count, and no public footprint. Worth a look — but go in expecting to find out what it is yourself.
MAY 10, 2026
TVYou is a small Roku channel that asks you to take it on faith.
A free, ad-free, in-app-purchase-free channel from Cre8ive Innovations with three screenshots, no store description, and a December 2025 launch. There isn't much to go on, and that itself is the review.
MAY 10, 2026
DisplayHUB is the kind of Roku side-project channel the platform quietly keeps alive.
A free utility channel from a solo developer, shipped in late 2025 and still being patched. The bar is whether it earns its tile on your Home screen.
MAY 10, 2026
Cornerstone Fellowship's Roku channel is a small church doing the simple thing well.
A free Subsplash-built channel from a North Carolina congregation. It exists so members and shut-ins can put Sunday on the living-room TV without juggling a phone or a browser tab. That is the whole job.
MAY 10, 2026
The USPA Polo Network is a niche federation channel doing one job.
The United States Polo Association's free Roku channel exists so polo fans can watch polo on a television. There is not much else to say, and that is the point.
MAY 10, 2026
Animated Moon is a single-loop ambient channel that does exactly what its name says.

MAY 10, 2026
Nen Fam on Roku is a YouTube family channel that wandered onto your TV.
