Will the new Live: On Patrol show be shown in real time on the Reelz Live channel via Roku?

@christie6135 

No.  The "LiveTV on the Roku Channel" really just means free continuous content/always streaming for most of the included channels.  Currently the Reelz schedule for today (https://www.reelz.com/schedule/) is not matching what is showing today on the Reelz Live TV on Roku Channel (ch. 511) which is showing episodes of  Autopsy and Breaking the Band for the majority of today.

From the Reelz website (https://www.reelz.com/get-reelz/) states the following...

FREE STREAMING 
Tons of great REELZ shows from our library are available with limited ad interruption. Not included is “Live” programming, On Patrol: Live, or new programs that you would see with a premiere cable, satellite or streaming subscription.

(The above would be the free Live TV included on the Roku Channel, Pluto TV, Tubi, Xumo and other services)

PREMIUM STREAMING

Watch hit REELZ shows ad-free and on-demand. These services include the original library of REELZ programs. Not included is “Live” programming, On Patrol: Live, or new programs that you would see with a premiere cable, satellite or streaming subscription.

(The above would be the standalone subscription Reelz Channel/app - https://channelstore.roku.com/details/54813f92b22b95b80f98cb8fd1b33b61/reelz)

----

The only Reelz Channel on Roku that offers Live programming is Reelz Now that requires  TV provider credentials. (For those with cable or satellite subscriptions.)

For streamers only without the above, will need to subscribe to a cable alternative service that offers Reelz like DirectTV Stream, Philo, SlingTV, or YoutubeTV. (https://cordcutting.com/how-to-watch/reelz/).

So is there any plan to make Live Reelz available as an app for ROKU? There are a lot of people who want to watch it but don't want a service

@danielhubb

Thanks for the inquiry.

For more information about that a channel on Roku, you'll want to contact the channel provider support directly to request and inquire further. Many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider themselves. 

Thanks,

So Reelz Now lets you sign in with a cable or satellite subscription to watch what live Tv they are playing- does that mean they are going to suspend it for On Patrol? no it doesnt. Reelz Now will show it when you log in and regular Reelz will not.

Reelz updated their info page on how to receive On Patrol 6/19/2022.

Please bring Reelz live. We would like to watch On Patrol live and cannot.

Can't watch for free, but this other thread provides the different means currently available to Roku users.

So will ROKU now add REELZ Now so we can get On Patrol:Live without having to get a cable or satellite subscription?  We are streamers now and gave up cable and satellite long ago.  Come on ROKU, we need some help here !
