These are all available via Roku's Roku Live TV channels directory. It has some overlap with Samsung TV's channels directory. but I think there's a lot of different stuff too.

about

I found links on Roku's site for a few of these and added them as a citation. you can find them all or most of them that way, by googling. And then you can fuckin stream them free on your computer if you're into that kind of thing. you can even pause, which you can't do yet on when watching on the Roku TV device, but maybe someday.

note about how to describe these "linear streaming channels"

when you get a certain device, you get a bunch of channels, free; they're ad supported. these channels are not the same thing as apps on your Smart TV. So, we need some better terminology to delineate what these things are. And Roku labels their entire Live TV platform heavily as (part of) "The Roku Channel", which is fuckin confusing.

AND . . it's confusing cuz so much of the content on these channels comes from legacy media corporations and "old fashioned TV channels". So, just, keep your eye on the ball.

List

So it appears that many of these are other streaming companies with some kind of partnership/ distribution/licensing deal with Roku, production companies, or many are just a channel that runs one show. Kinda cool if you like that show.
