Fox News Channel not available
Roku has apparently dropped FOX NEWS CHANNEL live...they have no answer, trying to blame it on my TV/Internet provider, but I've already reached out to them.
The problem is with ROKU, and ROKU won'...

Tox Weather is broadcast mot cable?
Every content owner gets to decide if/how/and how much they want to be paid. Some owners still like the cable TV model where they only have to deal with a relatively few cable companies. Others have embraced a direct to end-user streaming model, with whatever they believe is a good income model (payments, ads, both).
This is certainly a complicated time to be a content owner. All the traditional outlets are still around, plus the streaming ‘cable replacement” companies, plus the option to create your own app on at least 10 different operating systems that are all continuing to evolve. For example, Showtime Anytime has been around for years, but have announced that that ends (on every streaming platform) tomorrow.
If ROKU does it I am investing in there stock
ok and thanks for your input. If Fox News and ROKU can make a deal let us know. We like ROKU and would love to have it supply all our streaming needs.
If you don’t want to wait, people who want roku to supply all of their TV, often add a “cable replacement” style service. According to www.suppose.tv, some such packages that include Fox News would be: Sling Blue. YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, DirecTV Stream, and fubo Pro. (But please check yourself before signing up.)
I doubt Roku will ever have a paid TV service of their own.
The only way you could get Fox News from Roku is if they offered a standalone subscription. Awhile ago, they said they have no plans to do that. And even then, subscribing through a 3rd party like Roku can often cause payment and other issues.
I get Paramont+ and pecock through ROKO so the do it now
They only act as a middleman between your money and the service, and take a bit of it for themselves, and sell your info for more money. They do not actually do any video. Even the services available through The Roku Channel are just front ends to the services own service.
Yes, those companies believe in selling individual streaming channels, on Roku and various other platforms.
Another news channel had a streaming service for about 2 weeks. Then they got a new CEO with a different opinion on the value of a stand-alone streaming package, and it was gone.
I think ROKU has the opertunity to be the only streamer to give us the ability to customize a supplyer of video content without hundreds of sources no onr wants
Yes, well, that’s what they are now. Except for the “only” because other streaming platforms allow you to you to pick and chose channel/apps as well.
Like you I have Paramount+, but not Peacock, and have a variety of other ones including some weird ones like beta max TV. (It's an acquired taste.) 😀
Agree roku if you fix fox news we will buy stock in roku.👍
