CTV App and Local News not being offered suddenly

Hi Roku

We are having an issue with the OnAir portion of the CTV App. When we log in we would always find CTV News London (where we live) and watch it every morning. However lately it is only giving us the option to see CTV New Barrie (not where we live). The issue we have is if we log into the CTV App itself on our phone we can get the London News with no issue - it is only when we use the ROKU APP on our Samsung Smart TV that it is unavailable. We have contacted CTV but with no response however, it seems likely it might be on the ROKU side of things since it only happens using the ROKU app. Any suggestions?

Re: CTV App and Local News not being offered suddenly

Hi @KrymsonPyrate,

Thanks for the first post in the Roku Community!

In some cases, removing the affected channel and then re-installing it may help. To ensure the process is successful, make sure to restart your device before adding the channel back in. We would recommend doing this from the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power > System restart. (If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.)

For detailed instructions, refer to this Support link: How to resolve a channel playback issue

Please let us know how it goes.

All the best,

Chel

Hi @Dmatthews2004,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

We're sorry for the delay in responding about this CTV channel and thanks for reaching out.

If you're still experiencing the issue, please let us know if the Add option on your TV screen is grayed out. Or take a picture of it and share it here so that we can have a reference on the issue.

Please keep us posted!

Regards,
