by Do you love your Year? Roku not only lets you stream some of the most popular paid services like Disney+, Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, and more, but also streams a huge collection of movies and TV shows for free.
You’re probably familiar with the Roku Channel, a free ad-supported service owned by Roku, but what are your other options? Today we take a look at ten other great, 100% free ad-supported streaming services other than The Roku Channel.
Now they are not in any particular order, but here is my list:
Platoon TV
Pluto TV has become a leader in the world of ad-supported free content. Owned by Paramount, it has a huge collection of Paramount shows as well as third-party content. You will find over 100 HD channels and over 1000 movies and TV episodes.

Local now
Originally Local Now it only streamed local weather and news, but has now added tons of live channels, movies, and TV shows. Later this year, Local Now will also stream local PBS channels for free.
You can locate now on your Roku HERE.
News from the haystack
If your local feeds aren’t on NewsON, they’re probably on Haystack News. With Haystack News, you can watch local news, weather and more, but also get national and international news. Making Haystack News is a great way to keep up to date with what is happening around you in the world.

NewsON
