I only have a few actual Roku channels.  The channel I'm talking about
is The Roku Channel which is a meta-channel for a LOT of Roku's best
content.  Outside of that, I have a couple of news channels, Prime
Video, Paramount++ (which I can access via TRC), YouTube, and Pub-D-Hub.

Having worked in commercial radio, I don't mind ads but they can get
annoying.  I still listen to local AM stations since they offer news
and such you can't always get easily when "offline".  I am a fan of
SiriusXM but I do enjoy the locally produced content.
