Update: Roku and Fox Corporation came to an agreement late Friday night. In addition to all the methods below, you will be able to watch Super Bowl LIV using the FOX app on Roku.
Roku users who want to stream Super Bowl LIV on Sunday may not be able to use the FOX app to watch the game.
However, it’s not time to panic. There may be other ways to watch the Big Game without officially watching through the broadcast partner.
Roku’s distribution agreement with Fox Corporation, the parent company of FOX, expires on January 31. Roku told Cheddar it offered an extension to allow the Super Bowl and other programming to still stream on the platform, but Fox declined their offer. If no agreement is reached by the end of the day Friday, the company said it will be forced to remove all Fox channels from its platform because it does not have the legal right to distribute its channels, although Roku said the talks are ongoing.
A Fox Corporation spokesperson responded in a statement to the conflict writing that "Roku's tactics are a poorly timed negotiating ploy, fabricating a crisis with no thought for the alarm it generated among its own customers. Even if Roku unilaterally decides to remove FOX apps, savvy Roku customers know Super Bowl LIV on FOX will be ubiquitously available through streaming providers, FOX apps on the biggest streaming platforms and our website."
But fear not football fans! This doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t watch the game on your Roku. Here are some alternate apps and services you can use if the deal doesn’t come through. Many of these are subscription-based, but offer free trials for new customers.
NFL, which will stream the game for free (unless FOX blocks the feed)
Alternately, you could also check out these non-Roku options:
* FOX Sports website
* FOX Sports app on your Android device, iPhone, iPad, Android TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV, Xbox One, and Samsung Smart TVs
* Watching local FOX station (if you have cable or satellite subscription, a television antenna, or a strong signal for the FOX affiliate in your area)
* Your local bar (highly likely but not guaranteed by Cheddar)
A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase. A State Department spokesperson said the electric car company owned by Musk was the only one that expressed interest back in May 2024. The deal with Tesla was only in its planning phases but it was forecast to be the largest contract of the year. It shows how some of his wealth has come and was still expected to come from taxpayers.
At 100 years old, the Goodyear Blimp is an ageless star in the sky. The 246-foot-long airship will be in the background of the Daytona 500 — flying roughly 1,500 feet above Daytona International Speedway, actually — to celebrate its greatest anniversary tour. Even though remote camera technologies are improving regularly and changing the landscape of aerial footage, the blimp continues to carve out a niche. At Daytona, with the usual 40-car field racing around a 2½-mile superspeedway, views from the blimp aptly provide the scope of the event.
You'll just have to wait for interest rates (and prices) to go down. Plus, this deal's a steel, the big carmaker wedding is off, and bribery is back, baby!
It’s a chicken-and-egg problem: Restaurants are struggling with record-high U.S. egg prices, but their omelets, scrambles and huevos rancheros may be part of the problem. Breakfast is booming at U.S. eateries. First Watch, a restaurant chain that serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, nearly quadrupled its locations over the past decade to 570. Fast-food chains like Starbucks and Wendy's added more egg-filled breakfast items. In normal times, egg producers could meet the demand. But a bird flu outbreak that has forced them to slaughter their flocks is making supplies scarcer and pushing up prices. Some restaurants like Waffle House have added a surcharge to offset their costs.
