Can't find Westworld on Roku app

I recently saw a post online saying that Westworld was now streaming on Roku but when I search for it on the app I don't find any results. Has anyone else been able to find it? Any tips or tricks that I'm not aware of?

 Thank you

My JustWatch app doesn't show it really available for free anywhere other than DirectTV. You can buy the seasons on various services.

@Wheresmurphy_43 

Looks like Westworld and some others shows will be coming to the Roku Channel linear channels (LiveTV) under a new WB TV-themed category. (source: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/westworld-f-boy-island-among-211706738.html)

Westworld should become available on the "WB TV Watchlist Channel" inside the Roku Channel LiveTV.

The WB TV Watchlist Channel is channel 295.

I see Westworld playing on April 10 starting at 10:00pm (MT) from within the guide. (Season 2, episode 6 through Season 2, episode 10).  

To see all of the below WB offerings, perform a search for "WB" or "WB TV" from your Home Screen.  You will see a complete list of the new WB themed Live Channels available.

Re: Can't find Westworld on Roku app

My searches turned up nothing but i accidentally ran into it on channel 295. I can tell you this is Wednesday at 9:30 pm. How long. What time it starts and what days it may be on i can't say. All other searches come up as paying for it. 295 it's free

HBO doesn't even offer it on MAX anymore. Since they own the content, that is surprising to me. They must have signed some very lucrative contracts to allow it on other streaming services.

Max dumped it during the big purge after the merger to save money. They probably have to pay lower residuals if it airs on non-demand ad-supported networks.

Re: Can't find Westworld on Roku app

Great info. I just happen to have some time and decided to mark Favorites on my ROKU TV Streaming Channels...  I knew it was a lot, but it's way more than a lot. I had no clue that WB has so many channels. I wonder if any sites have attempted an online massive streaming channels schedule, that we could mark our favorites... I would actually be willing to pay a monthly subscriber fee. Somebody needs to make that money $$$.  Thank you for the detailed info. Happy 2024
