Roku has been adding a bucketload of new channels since the beginning of the year, so it’s probably “unusual” to report about a single service being added to the streaming platform. Still, this is quite an important streaming service for those who want to stay in the loop with the latest news.

Starting this week, Roku users can access content offered through CNN+, the subscription streaming from CNN. Although the new service doesn’t come for free, the fact that the option is there should be good enough.

In case you didn’t know CNN+ offers about 8-12 live daily shows, new CNN+ Original Series and a library of more than 1,000 hours of programming from the CNN Original Series and CNN Films teams. Subscribers also get access to the streamer’s Interview Club feature on desktop, mobile and tablets, which houses a passionate community.

  • 7:00 AM ET: 5 Things with Kate Bolduan
  • 8:00 AM ET: Go There
  • 9:00 AM ET: Big Picture with Sara Sidner
  • 11:00 AM ET: Reliable Sources Daily

  • 5:00 PM ET: The Global Brief with Bianca Nobilo
  • 6:00 PM ET: Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?

Of course, to get access to the robust content offering available on CNN+, you have to pay either $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year. The good news is a 7-day free trial is available via the Roku channel store for those who want to try it before becoming subscribers.
