Roku is launching a new Creator content hub with creator channels.

Like many other streaming services recently, Roku is embracing the popularity of creator content. As announced on Tuesday, Roku will add new free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels from top creators and podcasters, and is also introducing a Creator destination to allow viewers to browse this content all in one place.

Key Details:

  • Getting creative: Roku has launched its new Creator content destination.
  • Join the fun: The Roku Channel is adding FAST channels from Prof G Podcast Network, Preston & Brianna, and more.
  • Larger movement: More and more streamers are leaning into creator content.

The new Roku Creators hub will allow viewers to browse content from MrBeast, Hot Ones, Good Mythical Morning, and more in a single place. Browse through row after row of creator-driven content, including FAST channels and on-demand programming. To find the Creators destination, scroll to the Categories section in the Roku Channel, then click More to access the Creators tile.

Roku is also welcoming more creator content to The Roku Channel, with names like Prof G Podcast Network, Modern Wisdom Podcast with Chris Williamson, Preston & Brianna, Stokes Twins, and Nomad Travel. More creators — including iShowSpeed, Jesser, and the Kalogeras Sisters — are set to be added in the coming months.

“With the launch of our new Creators destination, we’re making it effortless to enjoy creator content the way it deserves to be watched: on the big screen, in stunning quality, without the hassle of searching across a dozen different apps,” Roku executive Lisa Holme said.

Roku isn’t the only streamer to embrace creator content and other aspects of creator-driven streaming platforms like YouTube. Netflix has gone furthest in its efforts to compete with YouTube, importing video podcasts and launching a vertical video scroll to more closely resemble its rival. But in some ways, Roku is an even more direct YouTube competitor; for example, both streamers offer their content for free.

“Roku has supported creator content for years, and that foundation uniquely positions us to help creators and partners reach even more viewers,” added Holme. “We’re not asking creators to start from scratch on another platform. We’re connecting the dots across our ecosystem, helping creators reach the 100-plus million households already streaming on Roku.”
