Fees: FREE

Listing: Details/Comments

 

Roku Channel Listing:

Explore breaking news, original journalism and world-class video from NBC on the msnbc digital network. Get the best business, political, health and entertainment reporting from Nightly News, TODAY, Meet the Press, Morning Joe and The Rachel Maddow Show.

Roku users have voiced their opinion in the Channel Store.  Rating it a 2star with 1030 votes.  Second lowest rated app-channel in the Channel Store.

Why?  Missing content.  Roku Newscaster users became accustomed to having the full Nightly News, Rachel Maddow and other shows in their entirety.  In addition, past shows were archived for later viewing.  With the launch of the NBC channel, Rok users are only to view the latest segments of each show.

Roku users have expressed their opinion.

NBC “neutered” a perfecting working Roku Newscaster channel and gave the Roku user this <bleep> as a replacement.
