Channel Request: Please look into getting the new Circle Network for Roku.

The new Circle Network looks fantastic if you are a fan of Country Music or Americana.  Since it is created and owned by only one Media distribution company, it will not appear in many major markets, including mine in the St. Louis area.  This Channel deserves universal distribution based on the programming content they released today.  https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/a-new-free-ota-tv-network-called-circle-from-the-grand-ole-opry-is-launching-january-1st/

    GREAT watching the Opry via the Roku Channel app last night (Live TV Channel 317).  Definitely a better experience than viewing through YouTube, as we'd been doing. 

    Thanks much for adding this Roku!

    I confirmed that Circle is indeed available from the relatively new LiveTV  channel listings.  From your home screen,  select the Roku Channel, then scroll down the menu until you see the LiveTV logo.   Select it.  Then use the up/down arrows to find channel 317.   While this is not a direct, dedicated channel button we'd all like to see... it is Circle network streaming live with Roku.  This morning had a replay of the current runs of The Grand Ol' Opry with Garth and Trisha performing together to an empty auditorium.  Kind of surreal but a lot better than most things on television.  Up next was a southern rockumentary and of course later in the day, Hee Haw reruns.   It's amazing how truly stupid humor holds up over time.  Everyone.. ENJOY!

      I definitely agree! It is clean family entertainment! Need a channel like this to escape all of the negativity and bad news that is so prevalent on TV these days! Thank you!

    We would love to see the Circle network on Roku Tv. We just recently seen this channel and have to stream it from youtube. It would be great to see it on our rokus as we have one in every room. Its so much easier to watch on our Roku's...

    Not long after my original post/request, our local over-the-air CBS affiliate TV station did buy the channel for one of it's add-on stations.  The programming does not disappoint.  Circle does have online streaming from their website and Facebook pages but mainly just live event programming or some archived features.  A presence on Roku would still be ideal.

        Echo'ing the above statements would love to be able to watch this channel on Roku because it's not available on my area

    Just adding my voice to wanting to see Circle TV on Roku! While I have access from a Nashville station, Roku is already set up and ready to go.

    Would like to also request adding the new Circle Network to the Roku selections.

    I agree completely! I would love to see Roku obtain the Circle Network. It is clean family programming and music! Would be a great addition to Roku!

      Still waiting! It would be GREAT if Roku would respond to these. "We are negotiating" or "Not happening" or some kind of reply so those of us looking for this know if this is in the works, or if we need to give it up and find a different solution.
