Attila’s Creative Works LLC increased its network of Roku channels to 7 channels publishing Baby Boomer Cartoons, Baby Boomer Horror and Abbott & Costello Classics.

Abbott & Costello Classics was added to Roku’s New & Notable section of the Channel Store this morning.

On August 7th, ACW added its 4th channel to its lineup, Western TV & Movie Classics, which immediately increased the networks viewership by 20% in less than a month.

The first three channels of the ACW network, WimZTV (published 9/9/16), Yesterfear (published 10/5/16) and Baby Boomer TV (just published on 6/26/2017), collectively have over 100,000 active viewers and have streamed over 7.5 million minutes of content.

With Roku’s staggering popularity, growth and OTT market-share dominance, it’s no surprise that businesses and content owners of all sizes are rushing to build Roku channels of there own.

While it seems that everyone I know is watching Movie & TV channels like Netflix, Amazon, Baby Boomer TV, Hulu and others, one might think that the Movie & TV category has the most channels, when in fact it is the second most popular category for Roku channel developers.

The most popular category is Religious with 1,319 channels (22.6% of all Roku channels) with Movies & TV coming in second with 883 channels (15.1% of all Roku channels).

So, what category fits your business? Here is a list of the Roku channel categories with their respective number of channels per category (as of August 8, 2017).
