With over 5,000 “channels” and apps, Roku media streamers have access to the most extensive selection of online content to watch. However, with so much choice, finding the channels you’ll enjoy can be a daunting task.

Of the channels that are pre-loaded or that you can add, most users stick with the most popular and well-known offerings, such as Netflix, Hulu, Fandango at Home, Amazon, and delayed-view TV networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, or cable channels like HBO and Showtime.

However, if you stick to those obvious choices, you could be missing out on great content from lesser-known providers. Below, you'll find our pick of the 16 best Roku channels you should consider, including some hidden, private channels not on Roku's official list.

Pluto TV offers over 100 free sources of news, sports, TV shows, music, and over 1,000 movies that you can add through the Roku Channel Store.
