Big Chunk of WBD Content Lands on Roku

[Mark Jeffries]

The most noteworthy titles on the twelve channels on the streaming stick branded as WBTV are the HBO and HBO Max shows on the Watchlist channel canned by Daddy Zaslav, including "Westworld" and "Raised by Wolves," but the package, although including WB TV shows and movies (the one movie channel is primarily from the last 50 years, not exactly infringing on TCM), is predominately the Discovery library of docs and reality shows (and no Looney Tunes or Hanna-Barbera channels):

Since we as taxpayers are apparently covering the millions Roku lost in the aftermath of the Silicon Valley Bank, maybe should all get the service for free?

Roku Channel is already free; it just requires sign-up.  I'm pretty sure there's an app for every major platform EXCEPT AppleTV (and possible GoogleTV/Chromecast) because...you know.

I have Apple TV and the app doesn’t work on our two “smart” TVs

I stand corrected - they only have SmartTV apps for Samsung TVs and Amazon Fire sticks (and Roku boxes, naturally). 

Could you AirPlay from an iOS device to the AppleTV?  I'll have to attempt it.

You also can play content at therokuchannel.roku.com on a device's web browser.

I think you do,

... and as an app on Amazon devices as well.

However, outside of the USA, it's blocked to Roku devices only.
