Roku has recently introduced six new free channels featuring classic sitcoms, reality shows, and movies.

      Roku is subtly developing one of the finest free streaming selections available.

      If you're seeking more reasons to appreciate your Roku device, here's a notable update. Roku has discreetly enhanced The Roku Channel by adding six new free channels, which are now accessible on all Roku TVs and streaming devices.

      This latest update further enriches the platform's already vast library, which includes hundreds of live channels and thousands of on-demand titles.

      What are the six new free channels on Roku?

      Here’s the complete list of the newly added channels to 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

      According to Cord Cutters, these new channels span a genuinely diverse range of genres. Rawhide features the classic black-and-white Western with a young Clint Eastwood in a breakout performance, while The Beverly Hillbillies presents the cherished 1960s sitcom about the affluent Clampett family adjusting to their new life in Beverly Hills.

      Ink Master offers consecutive episodes of the intense tattoo competition series. Channel 6036 is dedicated to classic Western films and series, MTV en Español provides content for Spanish-speaking audiences with music videos and Latin entertainment, and Toso.o is the most enigmatic addition to the lineup.

      What else has Roku been doing recently?

      This latest addition comes after an already active period for Roku. Last month, the platform launched 16 new free channels and announced a collaboration with Amazon Prime Video to provide Howdy, its new subscription service, to Prime Video subscribers.

      Gil Fuchsberg, President of Subscriptions, Partnerships, and Corporate Development at Roku, stated that the company aims to make outstanding entertainment more accessible. With the addition of six more free channels, that goal appears to be well on course.

      EXCLUSIVE: Director of Exit 8 shares insights into adapting a video game into a cinematic horror experience.

      Director Genki Kawamura discusses his creation of the cyclical horror film, Exit 8.

      Recent years have seen improvements in how video games are adapted into films and television series. Since 2020, audiences have enjoyed successful titles like the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, HBO’s The Last of Us, and Netflix’s Arcane. Now, indie film distributor NEON (known for Parasite and Anora) is continuing this trend by releasing one of the finest video game adaptations yet, Exit 8. Co-directed and co-written by Genki Kawamura, this atmospheric horror film is inspired by the walking simulator, The Exit 8, created by indie developer Kotake Create.

      Exit 8 centers around “The Lost Man” (Kazunari Ninomiya), who seeks an escape from a Tokyo subway tunnel that endlessly repeats itself. To find a way out, he must adhere to specific rules: “Do not ignore anything unusual. If you encounter an anomaly, turn back immediately. If not, proceed. Then exit through Exit 8.” Even the smallest error sends him back to the beginning, with anomalies ranging from minor to profoundly frightening.
