Reply #11: There is a free Roku channel called Roku Newscaster. [View All]

It has FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, NASA, CNet, current, ESPN, C-SPAN, NPR, PRI, and the BBC. Most of these channels have a number of sub-channels such as all the news and commentary shows on the networks. Actually I think that Al Jazeera is the only one that is just a single channel.

You buy the box and you never "have" to subscribe to anything. Most people get it for streaming Netflix, but there is a lot more to it than that. A good bang for the buck.
