The Roku Channel expands to Google TV and Android TV devices, offering over 80,000 free and paid movies and TV shows

The Roku Channel is expanding its reach and is now available on Google TV and Android TV devices. This means users can now access over 80,000 free movies and TV shows, along with more than 350 free linear TV channels that include news, sports, and entertainment content.

One of the key features of The Roku Channel is that it doesn't require a subscription or sign-ups to start streaming. However, for those who want more, there is an option to add premium subscriptions to content from providers like Starz, AMC Plus, MGM Plus, and others. It's worth noting that the availability of these premium subscriptions on Android and Google TV devices may not be the same on other smart TV platforms.

The Roku Channel has a significant user base, with over 100 million people using it. Prior to this expansion, The Roku Channel was only accessible on Roku TVs, Samsung TVs, and Amazon Fire TVs. Now, in addition to being available on Google TV and Android TV, it's also accessible via its website and as a mobile app for Android and iOS.
