Get ready to ditch those high subscription fees! The CW has just pulled off a game-changing move in the streaming world, and it’s all about free, live channels and on-demand content. With little fanfare, they’ve launched a free, ad-supported service featuring 12 channels. Now, you can stream these channels for free on The CW app, packed with a growing library of movies and TV shows.
Why pay for what you can get for free? The CW’s new service, available under the “Channels” section of their app, brings you live feeds from a diverse lineup including Ion, the Game Show Channel, and Mystery Science Theater 3000. And yes, Cord Cutters News has confirmed that these channels are now also available on The CW’s Roku app. Initially restricted to The CW website, these free channels are now seamlessly integrated into the app, challenging big players like Pluto TV and The Roku Channel.
Say goodbye to rising subscription costs! The CW app now offers a fantastic option for finding free movies and TV shows online. Free, ad-supported services are exploding in popularity as viewers get fed up with constant price hikes. These services offer a cable-like experience with a channel guide and live-streaming content that you can’t skip or rewind. The CW is riding this trend to attract a bigger audience.
This isn’t your old CW app. Historically, The CW’s app featured on-demand streaming of its own shows and a limited selection of older programs. This new service marks a significant expansion, offering a rich mix of content that’s sure to keep you entertained for hours.
Here’s the inside scoop. Entertainment President Brad Schwartz hinted at this development last August. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he revealed plans to launch a free streaming service on platforms like Roku and Pluto TV. He also discussed the controversial decision to cancel several popular shows due to streaming rights issues.
