Apple TV Channels are streaming subscription services that run within the Apple TV app. You don’t need an Apple TV device to enjoy Apple TV channels, because the Apple TV app also runs on an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows PC, smart TVs and numerous TV streaming devices and sticks.

If you’re wondering what channels are on Apple TV, this article provides a complete Apple TV channels list. For those who contemplate what channel is Apple TV, it isn’t a channel at all. It’s an app and a device.

Apple TV+ is Apple’s TV channel. It features movies and TV shows produced by Apple.

Fire TV Stick 4K at Amazon

Currently, there aren’t any Apple TV live TV channels. Most Apple TV channels are niche providers, like Cinemax and AMC+. They offer their entire catalog for streaming and you can even download videos. The best part is that it all takes place within the Apple TV app, so you can manage all your content in one place.

This page presents information about what channels are on Apple TV, in addition to how to subscribe and cancel. We also provide information about streaming apps that run outside of the Apple TV app.

If you’re looking for a list of free Apple TV channels, there aren’t any. Most offer a 7-day free trial period, but you’ll eventually need to pay. We do list free Apple TV tvOS apps in the “Apple TV Streaming Apps” section.

Introduction to Apple TV Channels

This article presents a complete guide to Apple TV channels. Whether you have a new Apple TV or an older model, we’ll cover how to access Apple TV channels and available networks. The information presented here is also valuable for those using the Apple TV app on an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows PC, Xbox, smart TV, or other devices.

Two main divisions exist in the Apple TV world — legacy Apple TV and modern Apple TV. The second and third-generation models, which cannot run tvOS, are still used by many people today. Although they can’t run apps and have fixed channels, AirPlay allows users to beam content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Fourth-generation and later Apple TV models run tvOS and feature the App Store. These devices run the Apple TV app, and users can subscribe to Apple TV+.

After several years, splitting this page into two articles became necessary. Apple TV channels evolved beyond the Apple TV device. People can now access this content on an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows PC, or smart TV. The channels are different too. Older Apple TVs had more channels; however, without an App Store, they’re far more limited than newer models.

Many Apple TV “channels,” such as Netflix, are sold as complete apps downloaded from the App Store. On older Apple TV models, they baked these into the system. Users activated Netflix, Hulu, and other services by subscribing. Eventually, Apple provided the ability to hide channels on the Home Screen of older models as more content options joined the fray.

If you have a modern iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, computer, or smart TV and you’re looking for information on Apple TV Channels, look no further. This article lists every Apple TV channel in alphabetical order, along with its price. We’ll also examine how to subscribe to and cancel Apple TV channels. Those who still own second and third-generation Apple TVs should read “Legacy Apple TV Channels for Second and Third Generation Apple TVs.”

Apple TV Channels List

The following Apple TV Channels are available on fourth-generation (or later) Apple TV units, as well as the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows computers, Xbox, and myriad other devices. Most channels offer a trial period of 7 days before billing begins. This information is clearly displayed on each channel’s home screen.

IFC Films Unlimited

$5.99/mo If you love independent film but dislike IFC’s adulation of directors and filmmakers, the streaming platform has much to love. Instead of watching a documentary about Werner Herzog, you can just skip to the film. This Apple TV channel just features shows and movies, not hours of sycophantic admiration, like IFC’s cable counterpart. Popular Movies: A L’Aventure, Room in Rome

noggin

$7.99/mo Parents with young, impressionable children will find solace in noggin. Instead of the brutal cartoons my generation grew up with, noggin presents peaceful and educational programming for developing minds. If you’re concerned about your children’s viewing habits, noggin provides a safe haven for kids and a respite for adults. Popular Shows: PAW Patrol, Blaze and the Monster Machinesnoggin Apple TV Channel

OUT TV

$3.99 Whether you’re proud and loud or just an ally, OUT TV provides entertainment for the LGBTQ+ community. Based in Canada, OUT TV’s mission is to show that LGBTQ+ people are human beings like everyone else. Popular Shows: Call Me Mother, Sugar HighsOUT TV Apple TV Channel

Paramount+

PBS Living

$2.99/mo Public Broadcasting’s finest documentaries, travel, and food shows are all available for an astonishingly low price on PBS Living’s Apple TV channel.

At $2.99 per month, this channel is the best value in the Apple ecosystem. Popular Shows: Finding Your Roots With Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Antiques Road ShowPBS Living Apple TV Channel

ScreenPix

$2.99/mo Another remarkable value, ScreenPix offers hundreds of classic movies for less than a cup of coffee. Enjoy your favorite spaghetti Western with a plate of pasta.

Shudder

$6.99/mo If you’re a fan of things that go bump in the night, Shudder’s Apple TV channel is a great option. Carefully curated to provide the best in horror and supernatural content, Shudder will provide hours of entertainment for those who can handle it. Popular Shows and Movies: Beyond the Dark, BurialShudder Apple TV Channel

Starz

$9.99/mo I’ve always felt Starz is kind of the K-mart of streaming services. There’s nothing wrong with either. It’s just that Starz seems like a weaker version of Showtime, HBO, or even Cinemax. You get what you pay for, and Starz doesn’t cost a fortune. They have some incredible movies that you won’t find on other services. Popular Shows: BMF, PowerStarz Apple TV Channel

Sundance Now

$6.99/mo If your tastes in cinema run on the sophisticated side, Sundance Now offers an excellent selection of movies. At only $6.99 per month, it’s one of the best values on Apple TV.

The Great Courses Signature Collection

$7.99/mo If learning is a lifelong passion, The Great Courses Signature Selection Apple TV Channel provides instruction from some of the greatest minds. Whether it’s ancient history or modern theoretical physics, this channel offers a wealth of information at an affordable price. Popular Shows: History of the Ancient World: A Global Perspective, The Real History of Secret SocietiesThe Great Courses Signature Collection Apple TV Channel

Topic

$5.99/mo This Apple TV channel is a bit of an oddball. Most of the content is of UK or EU origin, with some Canadian and American indie shows and movies thrown in. As an American who watches a lot of international programming, I have to admit, I’m unfamiliar with most of these shows and movies. That’s not a bad thing. Popular Shows: Sad Animal Facts, Happily MarriedTopic Apple TV Channel

UP Faith & Family

$4.99 Whether you’re entirely devoted to Jesus, or he’s just alright with you, UP Faith & Family hopes to provide the spiritual victuals to sustain your soul. If you’re looking for wholesome Christian entertainment at a low price, nothing beats UP Faith & Family’s Apple TV channel. Popular Shows: Heartland, Hudson & RexUP faith & family Apple TV Channel

What is Apple TV Anyway?

Apple employees and consultants are generally adept at naming products and services. Apple TV is an exception. The overloaded term describes a device, an app, and a service. It’s a premium service when you add a “+” to the end, making it Apple TV+.

Let’s reiterate — Apple TV is a device, an app, and a service. The Apple TV device is a hockey-puck-sized unit that connects to a flat-screen TV with an HDMI cable. Apple TV is also an app that runs on almost all Apple devices, Windows 10, Xbox, and many more gadgets.

It’s surprising to see Apple branch out; however, they’re trying to compete with Netflix. Like Netflix, Apple TV+ is a subscription service offering TV shows and movies produced by Apple.

^top

What Are Apple TV Channels?

Apple TV Channels are essentially niche on-demand content services offered at a low cost. The original Apple TV models featured channels like Netflix and, eventually, Hulu. Apple reclassified these as streaming services, not channels. Typically, most Apple TV, iPhone, and “whatever” device users access Netflix through its apps or website. Apple TV Channels are different.

Apple TV Channels run within the Apple TV app. They’re often unique partnerships with Apple to offer select content at a low price. Many Apple TV channels are less than $5 per month, targeting niche audiences.

PBS Living is a perfect example of a modern-day Apple TV Channel. It doesn’t have a presence on cable TV. At $2.99 per month, forget about the latte analogy. It costs less than a cheap cup of coffee at a fast-food restaurant. You also get what you pay for. The content is limited, but that’s the point.

Apple TV Channels are specific, inexpensive, and mostly unique experiences. Some providers, such as Starz, offer their complete service as an Apple TV channel. However, most take advantage of Apple TV to provide viewers with something different.

For legacy Apple TV owners — those with second and third-generation models — Apple TV Channels are similar but much more basic. These primordial Apple TV units don’t have an App Store because they can’t run tvOS. They’re essentially glorified iPods that connect to your TV. Instead, Apple TV Channels appeared when Apple updated the Home Screen.

These legacy Apple TV Channels are covered in another article. They haven’t changed in years, and they don’t apply to most people. Unlike modern Apple TV Channels, these only exist on older Apple TV units and never made their way onto the iPhone or other devices.

I suspect there are probably a few million second and third-generation Apple TVs still in use today. However, the majority of Apple TV customers will find the most relevant information right here.

^top

There Are Only 33 Apple TV Channels

There are only 35 Apple TV Channels.

This site lists hundreds of Apple TV Channels, but only some are legitimate. There are only 33 Apple TV Channels, not hundreds. The list is also out of date by at least three years, but at least they changed the year on the title! Most of their information about subscription fees is flat out wrong.

An Apple TV Channel is a specific streaming service that works within the Apple TV app. It must meet Apple’s requirements, which go beyond App Store approval. For example, all Apple TV Channels allow downloading video.

Some sites incorrectly list Netflix as an Apple TV Channel; however, the Netflix app doesn’t even support the Apple TV app. Netflix is just an app, not an Apple TV Channel. Many of the apps listed on their website don’t integrate with the Apple TV app, and they don’t meet the requirements of Apple TV Channels.

They list anything that streams video as an “Apple TV Channel.” This is not the case. Also, many of these are supposedly free. Outside of trials, there are no free Apple TV Channels.

An Apple TV Channel must conform to Apple’s standards regarding quality, downloadability, and ease of subscribing and canceling. Apple TV Channels offer a higher quality experience than the average streaming app.

That’s why only 33 streaming providers make the cut and can be classified as Apple TV Channels. It’s a privilege to be listed as an Apple TV Channel, and the company rewards these providers with high visibility in the Apple TV app.

How to Access and Subscribe to Apple TV Channels on Apple TV

For this section, let’s assume you’re using an Apple TV. The Apple TV app is available on many devices and platforms; however, one of the best experiences is using a flat-screen TV and an Apple TV box. Assuming that you’re on the Home screen of Apple TV, the following steps will guide you through accessing and subscribing to Apple TV channels.

  1. Using the Siri remote, hold down the microphone button and say, “launch Apple TV”. The Apple TV app appears.Launch Apple TV App Using the Siri Remote
  2. Swipe over to Watch Now on the top menu bar using the Siri remote’s Touch surface or Touch-enabled clickpad.Use Siri Remote to Display Watch Now ScreenSelect Watch Now From Menu Using Siri Remote
  3. Scroll down to the Channels section of the Watch Now screen.Scroll Down to the Channels Section of the Watch Now Screen
  4. Scroll horizontally to browse Apple TV channels and click on one to view its details.Scroll Horizontally and Click on Apple TV Channel to View Details
  5. View the details of your selected channel. Many channels come with free trials, with some offered at no cost. Click on “Try It Free” or the subscribe button to access the channel. Press the Menu button to exit the detail screen.Click on Try It Free
  6. If you opted into a subscription, you’ll see a confirmation screen. Click on Confirm to complete the transaction or Cancel to opt out. Remember to cancel your subscription one day before the trial period elapses if you’re not interested in the network.Confirm or Cancel Subscription
  7. The channel’s screen appears immediately after subscribing. From here, you can browse content and play TV shows and movies.Apple TV Channel Appears Immediately After SubscribingApple TV Channel's Home Screen

Subscribed channels appear in the same list, ordered by the ones you’ve activated on the left. When you want to browse your subscribed Apple TV channel, launch the Apple TV app, choose the Watch Now tab, and scroll down to the Channels list.

Unfortunately, Siri is incapable of servicing channel-specific requests. Simply asking Siri to “open the PBS Living channel” or any permutation of this request doesn’t work. Apple’s intelligent assistant continually steers the user to the App Store, perhaps hoping they’ll make another purchase. For now, using the Siri remote to navigate the Apple TV app provides the easiest way to access your favorite channels.

How to Cancel Apple TV Channel Subscriptions

Apple is a little sneaky when it comes to subscriptions. By default, they turn off email receipts. Many people subscribe to Apple services they don’t use at all, yet they’re entirely unaware of this wasteful situation.

It’s so simple to cancel an Apple service. You can do it on your iPhone, iPad, or other devices. Although it’s not hidden, Apple doesn’t make it obvious how to cancel Apple TV channel subscriptions. Find out how to turn on email receipts and cancel Apple TV channels.

Apple TV Streaming Apps

Apple TV (the device) offers hundreds of streaming apps outside of the Apple TV app. Some may integrate with the Apple TV app, while others, such as Netflix, stand alone. Many of these streaming services can run on multiple devices beyond your Apple TV, but might not have the compatibility of a certified Apple TV channel.

It’s important to understand that these are not Apple TV channels. Instead, they’re streaming services offered through the tvOS App Store. Netflix is a perfect example. Other than selling its app through the App Store, it has nothing to do with Apple. Netflix does not work with the Apple TV app on any device. It’s a standalone streaming service you can use on your Apple TV device and other platforms.

Let’s look at streaming apps available to Apple TV (the device) along with their prices. If they’re available on other devices, such as the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows PC, Android, and ChromeOS, we list that too.

Apple TV Channels and Streaming Subscriptions Sorted by Cost

In the previous sections, we alphabetically list Apple TV channels and other subscription services.
