The Roku Channel users can now add a Curiosity University subscription

The Roku Channel is incredibly useful, and not only be because it offers hundreds of free streaming channels in essentially every genre. It also allows you to add any one of more than 55 premium streaming subscriptions to your account, helping you keep track of your bills by keeping them all in one place. Now, users of The Roku Channel can add another service to that list: Curiosity University.

Key Details:

  • Curiosity University is available for $9 per month or $90 per year.
  • The service comes with a wide range of lectures and other educational material.
  • Curiosity University is also available to add through Prime Video.

Curiosity University was formerly called One Day University, and carries a huge selection of lectures from Pulitzer Prize-winning authors, department chairs at some of the world’s most prestigious universities, and much more, including podcasts and a weekly newsletter.

“Partnering with Roku is a pivotal step in Curiosity’s commitment to making learning a lifelong journey for everyone,” Curiosity VP Jay Sodha said. “Roku’s extensive reach and commitment to innovation make it the perfect platform for Curiosity University to amplify its reach and continue to connect with curious minds around the world.”

Curiosity University comes from the same company that offers Curiosity Stream, which is also available on The Roku Channel. A subscription to Curiosity University will cost you $9 per month, or $90 per year if you prefer an annual plan. Curiosity University differs from Curiosity Stream in that it offers more lecture-based content, as opposed to the lineup of documentaries you’ll find with a Curiosity Stream subscription.

Viewers can also sign up for Curiosity University through other aggregation platforms like Prime Video. Subscribing to the service via this method allows customers to better keep track of their subscriptions by having bills all on one platform, instead of scattered around different sources.

Roku Channel

The Roku Channel is a free, ad-supported streaming service that offers a broad mix of movies, TV shows, live linear channels, and original programming. Available to all viewers — not just Roku device owners — the service features licensed content from major studios alongside Roku Originals, which include exclusive series, movies, and specials previously produced for Quibi, as well as new original projects developed specifically for the platform.

Programming on The Roku Channel spans multiple genres, including drama, comedy, reality TV, news, and family-friendly content. Popular titles and originals include “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” “Die Hart,” “The Spiderwick Chronicles,” and a rotating library of classic films and TV series. The platform also offers live news channels, sports highlights, and themed FAST channels covering everything from classic TV to lifestyle programming.

Viewers can watch The Roku Channel for free on Roku devices, smart TVs, streaming players, mobile devices, and web browsers, with no subscription required. The service is also available on platforms like Amazon Fire TV and Samsung smart TVs, expanding its reach beyond the Roku ecosystem. While ads are included, the experience is designed to be lighter than traditional broadcast television.

With its combination of free access, original content, live channels, and on-demand entertainment, The Roku Channel has become one of the most widely available and accessible streaming destinations for viewers looking to watch without a monthly subscription.
