(Hollywood Reporter) – NBCUniversal and Roku are teaming up to launch several FAST channels devoted to long-running shows in NBCU’s library.

Starting Aug. 15, the streaming device maker’s Roku Channel will offer free, ad-supported channels featuring the long-running Angela Lansbury mystery show Murder, She Wrote; the original iteration of sitcom Saved by the Bell; and the 1970s-80s drama Little House on the Prairie.

Also launching Tuesday is a Universal Crime channel that will include series like Columbo, The Rockford Files and Kojak; a TNBC channel — referring to NBC’s teen-oriented Saturday programming block of the 1990s — with episodes of Hang Time, Punky Brewster and Major Dad, among others (though of the three name-checked in the NBCU/Roku press release, only Hang Time was part of the original TNBC block); and one devoted to the long-running Oxygen reality series Bad Girls Club.
