Everyone with a Roku device gets blockbuster free TV upgrade today
Anyone with a Roku Stick or Roku-powered TV is in for a treat. The streaming firm has just announced the launch of a swathe of bonus content arriving on its devices, and everything can be viewed without paying a penny for the privilege. The blockbuster upgrade is also thanks to a partnership with ITV Studios which is offering Roku users access to movies, reality TV and entertainment.
From today, five new FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) channels will be available across all Roku devices and will be fully integrated into The Roku Channel and Live TV Guide for easy discovery. Homes tuning in will need to sit through some adverts, but those sponsored messages mean there are no subscription fees to pay.
Here’s what owners can now watch for free.
The Graham Norton Show – Much loved talk show host Graham Norton invites the biggest stars in the world onto his sofa to share their stories and have the best fun.
Hell’s Kitchen – Gordon Ramsay’s culinary boot camp returns to Los Angeles as the terrifying world-renowned Head Chef slices and dices a group of wannabe Cordon Bleu cooks and aspiring restaurateurs, to find out who deserves the top prize of their own restaurant.

British Screen Classics – Bringing you the very best of British cinema. Showing a range of genres across comedy, horror, war, drama, adventure and romance, you’ll find the films you love all in one place.
“We’re delighted to bring these well-loved ITV Studios channels to Roku in the UK,” said Tom Price, Director, Content Distribution – Europe & Australia, Roku. “The new channels build on the strong momentum of our FAST offering and reflect our commitment to expanding locally relevant content. Our FAST channels make it easy for viewers to enjoy popular shows without any subscription fees.”
