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

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.

Sixteen years ago, The Social Network turned the origin story of Facebook into one of the most acclaimed films of the century. Now, Aaron Sorkin is back, and this time he is writing and directing. Sony Pictures dropped the first full trailer for The Social Reckoning today, and it is exactly as intense as you would hope.

This is technically not a direct sequel but a companion piece, and it is focused on what happened after Facebook grew from a dorm room idea into a platform that reshaped the world, and not always for the better.
