TWIT TV Roku Channel : No Content

As of Jan 7th 2024, I see that the TWIT TV channel on Roku has no content.  The channel opens to a TWIT background screen, but nothing more. No episodes .  No subcategories. Just a background image. Has TWIT left Roku ?  I see content on YouTube and the channel is still in the Roku library of channels.  What is going on?  Has Leo left the building?

Yes.    Dead for me two.     I note that the App is now at Version 2 build 0.

I have sent feedback via the channel review.      That said, if they don't plan to populate the content, then they really should remove the App from the store.

I think Leo is thinking about retiring soon.  He discussed the possibility recently on Ask The Tech Guys podcast.  Several TWIT podcasts are going behind a paywall.  Few sponsors now.  It has been several weeks now without a functioning channel.  This might be the beginning of the end.

yeah, I will miss them if they go.    long time listener, over a decade.     

that is the problem with a single central driving figure... he needs a succession plan, but I don't really see any candidates.
