Re: Will CNN+ be available on ROKU TV

@PCNiles  And? Companies having negotiation fallouts all the time. Roku is no different then Amazon, Apple or Google. But no one on here can tell you “On May 20th CNN+ will be available on Roku”. That’s the answer you are looking for and you won’t get.

Will Roku support the new CNN+ streaming channel

Jump to solution

I signed up for CNN+ and didn't realize it is only streaming on Apple TV and Firestick.  I don't know that much about things like this.  Is there any way to have the channel added to Roku so I can watch on my TV?

I believe there is a way I can hook up my phone or computer to the TV with HDMI.  I'll try if I have to.  Or do I have to get a Firestick instead of  Roku?

Sorry for the questions.  I don't know how else to ask the question.

This has been covered before. With CNN+ launched there is no support for Android TV or Roku. But that falls on CNN themselves. They develop the CNN+ app/ channel. So only CNN can answer your question. I’m sure it’s in the works

The different ways to watch CNN+ are located here on CNN website. https://help.cnn.com/us/Answer/Detail/000001006)

You can certainly sign up for a CNN+ subscription on their website and then cast it to your Roku, or use a HDMI cable from laptop (or even phone with appropriate adapter) connected to your TV.

I would assume CNN+ will eventually develop a Channel/app for the Roku platform.  There are rumored release dates online, but haven't seen any linked sources.

True enough. But figured it out. Download the regular CNN app & sign in with your CNN+ account. Ta-da!

It’s there now. Relax. Calm down. The only CNN channel prior to today available on Roku was CNNgo. But now there is a CNN channel which covers CNN tv provider and CNN+. The article mentions that
