Certain episodes blocked by requiring subscription to a different channel

Why are some episodes blocked by having to subscribe to a different service? For example, the TV show "Doc", S2 E10. I had seen it previously I wanted to watch it on Veterans Day but now it is saying I have to subscribe to up Faith and family in order to watch that one episode. Other episodes were included in the Roku channel.  What’s up with that???

  • Streaming services like Roku own little of the content they show, but license it from the content owners.  Licenses come and go, expire, and get replaced with others.

  • Unfortunately, it seems fairly common for episodes to be missing on free services.   I was watching an old series Airwolf only to find that Episodes 21 and 22 of Season 3 are missing.
