Channels & viewing

[joebsinpson3]

I just purchased a Roku TV and am surprised that the C-Span channels are not available in Pineville NC.
At my previous location (Silver Spring MD) on our previous Roku tv they were. I would like to make the suggestion that C-Span, C-Span 2, and C-Span 3 be made available here.

The C-Span channels provide live coverage of the United States Congress both House and Senate. To be able to watch the actual proceedings is a wonderful privilege for anyone involved in our country.

Respectfully submitted for your consideration.

In most cases, it is dependent upon the owner of the channel/content to make an app for Roku or you may need access to a service that provides C-span as part of its package for viewing, such as a cable or satellite provider.  Roku does not have control over content that it doesn't own. 

You could also try watching C-span on its youtube channel.  Youtube.com/cspan or cspan.org and mirror/cast the show to your screen.

It surely would be a good idea for Roku to contact c-span and suggest that they write an app or request that Roku write an app for C-SPAN.

Hi, @thewheel1975 

Thanks for posting here in the Roku Community.

We appreciate you for sharing your interest in adding the CSPAN Channels to the Roku platform.

It is a good start to contact the channel developer of the CSPAN Channels and let them know that you'd like to stream their app on Roku. Once acknowledged by their team, they can develop an app for Roku.

For more information, you can contact them at CSPAN Contact Support

We hope this helps!

Thanks,
The Roku Community Team.

I think it would be more effective if a large number of viewers would make that request with C-span.

Used to be able to stream/cast it directly from their website https://www.c-span.org/networks/ but they stopped that about a year ago.

I believe the only way to now stream it (legally) is via the DirectTV streaming app.  https://channelstore.roku.com/details/d029c484932d244d1fa75c479951e714/directv

It is critical that all C-SPAN channels be available throughout the country.

Hi, @Korrky 

Welcome!

I understand your interest in the availability of CSPAN channels on the Roku platform.

The availability of channels on the Roku platform is managed by their respective providers.

For more information, you can reach out to their support team at CSPAN Contact Support

Hope this information helps, and keep us posted if you have further questions or clarifications.

Thanks,
Roku Community Team.

You need to talk to C-Span and ask them to offer an app on the Roku platform. Roku themselves have no "in" with providers to convince them to create an app. Only the end users (that's you) have the potential clout to persuade a provider to create an app for the Roku.
