I am having the same issue as others here have described but only on my Samsung TV.
On the Sony TV the fox news app works perfectly.
Both are using recently purchased new Rocu sticks.
Could this possibly be related to the brand of the TV?
The original post in this thread was back in 2023 and Roku has not found a fix or gotten the FOX people involved. Very annoying and a waste of my time. Some days nothing works. Same problem on multiple TVs.l with Roku boxes. No issue using an Apple box.
Agree! Roku needs to step up to the plate and have the moderators stop wasting our time with troubleshooting. It is not a problem isolated to a handful of users. It is system wide. Read all the posts moderators! Wake up and do something Roku!
Why won't fox news channel not open? It goes to 13% and then freezes. I get the channel on my other roku tv. Please fix, so frustrating!!!
Update to my post from last week.
App no longer works on my Sony TV now.
Both get the 13 percent wheel of doom now.
I’m not a big conspiracy theory person but I find it very odd that this is the only app I’m having issues with in a very important election year.

It did nothing to help. Stays the same
I’m having the same issues I get the spinning 13% on two of my TVs but I have one TV that gets Fox News with no issues. All are recently purchased ROKU devices.
