On "This Week on Roku" we take a quick look at a few of the new channels just released in the Roku channel store. We also look at new episodes of shows on PBS and PBS Kids, and then we check out what's new on MaddyGTV.
Thirteen new channels were added to the Roku channel store last week. Here is a look at just a few of them.
Classical TV - Classical music fans will be happy to see that the Classical TV channel has returned to Roku after a long hiatus. Subscribers can watch hundreds of videos in categories that include ballet and dance, classical music, jazz, documentaries, opera, and more.

Amy Lynn's Kitchen - Amy Lynn's Kitchen is a new cooking channel in the Food category of the Roku Channel Store. This channel offers videos with over 100 recipes in a variety of categories. Amy Lynn's Kitchen describes their videos as being "fast, fun and filled with laughter and bloopers."
Floyd's Hat Grab - The newest game on Roku is Floyd's Hat Grab. This is a simple game in which you streak down a street, grabbing as many hats out of the air as you can while avoiding being trampled by oncoming elephants.

Fun Travel TV - Fun Travel TV is a Roku channel that provides viewers with a collection of videos from various regions of the South Pacific. The main focus is on Australia's Gold Coast /Great Barrier Reef region, Samoa, and the Cook Islands.
