Lots of the major streaming services are offering fantastic Black Friday streaming deals, but for the most part these are on the mainstream platforms and only for new subscribers. So if you're a returning subscriber or want a more niche subscription, what do you do? Well, that's where Roku steps in.
Like with the Prime Video channels deal we've seen, Roku has announced a huge range of discounts over the Roku Channels. These let you you pay a little bit each month to see extra videos populate your Roku device or TV home page.
Some of these affect the major streaming service's channels like Paramount Plus, Max or Discovery Plus, but lots of them are let you sign up for smaller channels which you might not consider otherwise. History Vault? Lifetime Movie Club? A&E Crime Central? All are discounted.
To get one of these Black Friday channel deals, you'll need to own a Roku streaming stick or TV, and all you need to do to get the trial is sign up for the service through your Roku device. You'll need to do so on or before Monday, December 2 in order to get the new discounted price.
