Channels & viewing

[19and41]

I wanted to see if there were any way to request having a channel added to the ROKU lineup.  I keep searching to see if News Nation had been added.  but no luck.  How would I contact the responsible parties?

Channels are normally created by the content owners.  According to:

https://www.newsnationnow.com/feedback/tv-provider/

they can be streamed on: YouTubeTV, Hulu, fuboTV, Vidgo, Sling, and DirecTV Stream.

If you’re looking for more ways, like an individual Roku app, here is their contact page:

I have just checked.  Sling does not carry News Nation.  I would think that if any of those sources mentioned did, it would come up in a ROKU channel search.  It does not.

Sling lists it here (with no space between news and nation) :

Thank you, but it is not listed in the sling tv channel lineup on ROKU, nor does it come up in the ROKU channel search.

NewsNation is WGN America rebranded.

It's on Sling TV Orange, Blue, Orange+Blue, as part of the $6 News Extra add-on.

I just did a search on Sling TV on ROKU for newsnation  and wgn america.  I got a result that states neither can be found there.  There is apparently a difference between the advertised channel lineup and the actual channel lineup.

If you have the news ad-on, then I would contact SlingTV about why that isn’t included even though they say in multiple places that it is.  Sometimes an aggregator like Sling and a content provider have a contract dispute which puts the channel off-line for a while, but I don’t see any news like that in this case.

Thanks.
