Dr Rachel Levitch 24/7 is one of the more honest app categories on Samsung Tizen: a single-personality linear channel, ported from broadcast radio’s playbook into a smart-TV front-end. WHFF Broadcast and Media — an independent US outfit running WHFF.Radio and WHFF.TV — shipped it to the Galaxy Store in March 2026 as a free app, no subscription, no library, no episode picker. Open it, and Levitch is already on.
The format works because the format is old. A 24/7 personality stream is what AM radio invented and what cable news refined; the Tizen app is the same idea pointed at a 65-inch panel in someone’s living room. The viewer is not a chooser here. They are a listener who happens to have the TV on, and the design respects that by getting out of the way.
What’s missing is everything that would help a new viewer discover whether Levitch is for them. The Galaxy Store listing on the snapshot we pulled carries no description, no screenshots, no rating, and no review count. That is partly Samsung’s broken-by-default app-store surface and partly WHFF’s still-getting-started listing hygiene. The app behind the listing is fine for what it is. The path a stranger would take to find it is the part that needs work.
This is a 24/7 personality channel ported to a smart-TV app — a format from broadcast radio rebuilt for the living room.
FEATURES
Dr Rachel Levitch 24/7 is a single-channel streaming app on Samsung Tizen, published in March 2026 by WHFF Broadcast and Media — the small US outfit behind WHFF.Radio and WHFF.TV. The app exists to deliver one thing: a continuous Dr Rachel Levitch stream, the lifestyle-and-talk equivalent of tuning to a single radio station and leaving it on.
The shape is the standard linear-channel-app pattern Tizen developers reach for when the underlying property is a personality or a show rather than a library. Launch the app, the stream is already playing. There is no carousel of episodes to scroll, no recommendation feed, no profile system. The Samsung remote's directional pad does very little here, which is the point.
The app is free, with no in-app purchases listed and no subscription tier exposed on the Galaxy Store metadata. WHFF's existing infrastructure runs the actual stream — the Tizen client is a thin front-end on top of an HLS feed that is presumably also available on WHFF.TV in a browser.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The right format for the right content. A 24/7 personality channel does not need an episode picker, a watch-history sync, or a follow button. It needs to start playing the moment a viewer turns it on. The app delivers exactly that, and the launch-to-playback latency on a 2024+ Tizen panel is short enough that it feels like switching to a TV channel rather than opening an app.
An independent broadcaster shipping a same-platform app on Tizen at all is the genuine win. The Galaxy Store on Samsung TV is not an easy distribution surface for a small operator — it requires Samsung Apps TV certification, a developer account in good standing, and the engineering to maintain the build across Tizen revisions. WHFF has done the work to get Levitch's audience onto Samsung sets directly, rather than asking them to cast from a phone.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
Nothing here exists for a viewer who does not already follow Dr Rachel Levitch. The Galaxy Store listing carries no description, no screenshots, and no rating on the snapshot we pulled — a discovery problem that is partly Samsung's fault and partly the developer's. A short two-paragraph "what this is" in the store listing, plus three screenshots of the channel mid-stream, would do more for installs than any update to the app itself.
No DVR, no pause-and-rewind buffer, no schedule view. The linear-radio format is the strength but it is also the ceiling: a viewer who tunes in mid-segment cannot rewind to the start, and there is no way to see what is coming up next. Competing single-channel apps on Tizen (Bloomberg TV+, Local Now affiliates, the major faith-broadcast channels) all expose at least a schedule grid; this one does not.
CONCLUSION
Install Dr Rachel Levitch 24/7 if you are already in Levitch's audience and you want a one-button way to leave her channel running in the background on a Samsung TV. The format is right and the engineering is competent for a small broadcaster. The store listing is the thing to watch — a meaningful description and screenshots would change this from a 6.4 to a 7.0 by themselves. Until then, the app is a useful utility for an existing fanbase and effectively invisible to anyone else.
