While many Roku channels are serving up brief clips chopped out of longer shows, or a lot of low-quality two- and three-minute videos, Portico has taken a different route. This channel offers professionally-produced episodes of shows from producers such as Popular Science, Rev3, and AP.
When this channel first launched in September, I was put off by the promo video that continuously runs while you browse content. I took another look at the channel, though, and found a lot to like. And I learned that the promo video is actually a weekly update telling us about new content on the channel.
