Where is Wildearth Safari channel?

I've been a fan for years and was thrilled that you added the channel but it seems to have disappeared today. What's up?

    WildEarth used to be on ch.478 of the Roku Channel Live TV, but does look like it is missing. (these sometimes will mysteriously re-appear at times.)

    You can still watch the Live channel via the free channels/apps Xumo Play and Plex. In Xumo Play Live TV Guide, located in Nature and Wildlife category.  For Plex, just perform a Search from within the Channel/app.  It is also available using the free version of SlingTV.

    You can also watch the WildEarth Live from their standalone WildEarth channel/app available in the Roku Channel Store as indicated by atc98092.   https://channelstore.roku.com/details/22c47975e5550f0e6ab74dd7df30856f/wildearth

    I've been watching on Sling but unaware of any "free" version of Sling. It's about $50 a month.

    It seems rather premature to remove when Roku just added it maybe a month or two ago. I'm glad I had not canceled Sling yet.

    I did  not realize I could now get it as a standalone Roku Channel. Brilliant! Thank you!

      I don't think there is a standalone channel. When I looked at the channel store, there are several "safari" channels, but non said Wildearth. So I'm assuming you were previously watching it in The Roku Channel. The problem there is that content can come and go based on the contract Roku has with the content provider. If it was that recent of an addition, perhaps it was just a technical issue that has temporarily removed it.

        No, Gunnar was correct. There is a standalone channel now. Yay. It's called Wildearth.
