A Roku TV (a set with Roku functionality built in) has an option for entering your Zip/Postal code. There is no similar setting on a separate Roku streaming device.
Most channel streaming apps that need your location determine it by the IP number assigned to you by your internet provider. If your internet provider assigns or changes your IP number to one attached to one of its servers located in a different area, that could change the local stations you are provided.
You can use a website like https://www.iplocation.net/ to see where the IP number assigned by your internet provider indicates you are located. If this doesn't represent your actual area, contact your internet provider and ask to be reassigned an IP in your area.
Note that some channels themselves may have a provision for setting your location.
