How to Watch Versant's New Free CNBC, Oxygen and E! Channels
By American TV editorial team |
Versant has launched four new free, ad-supported streaming channels built from CNBC, Oxygen and E! shows: CNBC Ambition, Snapped, Botched and Oxygen Murders of America. All four have been on Prime Video in the U.S. since October 27, 2026, and they reach The Roku Channel in stages between November 3 and November 17. Versant announced the launches on October 28, bringing its lineup of free streaming channels to 13.
These free channels differ from the full CNBC, E! and Oxygen channels on DIRECTV.
These are FAST channels, short for free ad-supported streaming TV. They run a nonstop lineup of older episodes with commercials, so they don't replace the live CNBC, Oxygen True Crime and E! cable channels that carry new episodes and live coverage.

|---|---|---|---|
| CNBC Ambition | Leader's Playbook, Millennial Money, Secret Lives of the Super Rich, Billion Dollar Buyer, Adventure Capitalists | Oct. 27, 2026 | Tue., Nov. 3, 2026 |
| Oxygen Murders of America | The Pike County Murders, The Real Murders of Atlanta, New York Homicide, Sin City Murders and more | Oct. 27, 2026 | Tue., Nov. 10, 2026 |

Two channels from Free TV Networks, which Versant bought in January 2026, are also coming to The Roku Channel. Outlaw, a westerns channel, arrives November 10, and 365BLK arrives November 17. Both are already on Prime Video.
