If you can post some more specific info, like exactly what ROKU device do you have and exactly what is happening? "Don't work" can mean just about anything, then maybe someone can help you.

I have never heard of A ROKU premium. No such ROKU is listed here:

https://developer.roku.com/docs/specs/hardware.md

or here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roku

Go to the home page settings > system > about >>. that is all the info about your ROKU the ">" means the right hand key by OK.

OK, I have an old Premiere (3920X), I haven't used for awhile. I hooked it up. When to settings > system > software update. It had Software version 11.5. I did the update to version 12. Roku restarted, I tried a show at random. father knows best, and it played OK. So, if I suggest check what software version you have, If it's not version 12, I'd update and try the ROKU channel again. If that didn't work I was going to remove the ROKU channel, restart he ROKU and then reinstall it. That's my best guess. If that doesn't fix it. I have no idea.

Well then I'm out of ideas. Do any other channels have work? If they do, then as I said, I have no clue, sorry.
