Summary
Four new free channels joined Roku’s lineup for August, led by comedy offerings built around “Mad TV,” “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and Retro Black Laughs.
The expansion pushes Roku’s recent additions to nearly 80 channels, a move aimed at bolstering its free Roku Channel after the company raised streaming-device prices.
Fairground AI stands out as the fourth launch—a round-the-clock feed of AI-generated films, short series and other programming that debuted in late July.
That AI channel arrives as Roku tests whether machine-made entertainment can draw mainstream viewers alongside established, human-made library content on its free platform.
