Channel Request: CTV channel in Canada

Hi there, I am in Canada and looking for the CTV channels. When I search for it, I get three bizarre, little known channel options. CTV is the largest watched private network in Canada, not sure why none of the various versions are available. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

      Hi Christine1

      Thanks for the post.

      Channels are managed by the developer themselves. We suggest reaching out to CTV channel support directly to let them know you want their streams on Roku. We'll also make certain that your channel request will be passed over to our team. You can always check our blog at https://www.roku.com/blog for future announcements and updates. 

      All the best,
      Kariza

        Thanks S1G2M - I have a firestick but it doesn’t help when I want to use my Roku or any of the other Roku users who would like the CTV app on their device. Never did hear back from the powers that be at CTV about making it accessible on Roku!

    The channel apps for Roku are created and provided by the channels themselves.  The CTV website lists several devices they have apps for but Roku is not one of them.

    Let them know you'd like to view their service via Roku.

        There are a few CTV News on Roku. Our Canadian one has a tile on the app/channel called "World News"( Red tile, and once opened, listed under their English news channels. It hasn't broadcasted anything for a while now, and just displays the message " there are no live events at this time. Please check back later", with the CTV News logo in the bottom right corner. My guess is the app/channel provider needs to reset the link, although I am seeing an old problem of the internet that exist here as well: some apps/channels are displaying more than one tile in their menu for the same channel; somehow, it takes two or more tiles to get through to the streamlining of the channel (the last tile is the one that works, the others are just doorbells for the key slot, so to speak. Others with more in sledge of the topic will be able to explain it in more comprehend able language.

      I sent CTV an email via their website almost a year ago, they haven’t had the courtesy to send even an automated reply!
