New independent channel Ain’t No Herb TV to launch on Roku

I Ain’t No Herb Jackson Studios has announced the launch of Ain’t No Herb TV, a new Roku Channel and streaming app dedicated entirely to independently made films from around the world. Set to debut in 2026, the platform reflects years of careful planning by founder and producer Herb Jackson, who personally selected short films, documentaries, and features with respect for each project’s original vision. Jackson’s motivation came from firsthand experience on the festival circuit, where many strong films struggle to find viewers once festivals end. He set out to create a permanent space where these projects could continue to be seen, with special attention given to short films that rarely receive sustained exposure. Ain’t No Herb TV will add films on a rolling basis, allowing viewers to revisit favourites while discovering new work at any time. The channel will be free to watch on Roku and will also be available as an app through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Amazon Fire TV. Programming will run twenty four seven, rotating titles regularly as the library grows. Among the first films featured is Aguska, a short film executive produced by Jackson. The story follows a young British girl who faces bullying on a football pitch and finds strength through family and teamwork, ultimately bringing her team together. The channel officially launches for Roku users and app platforms on February 15th. Jackson hopes the service becomes a trusted destination for independent shorts and a practical support system for filmmakers navigating a crowded industry. Behind the platform is I Ain’t No Herb Jackson Studios, a production company that partners with filmmakers to expand their reach. The studio offers guidance on festival submissions, social media strategy, and press visibility, all with the aim of helping independent films connect with a broader audience.
