MovielandTV on ROKU Channel

This "was" an available channel that was on ROKU's list of available streaming channels and when I stumbled across it when searching for obscure movies like "Sorcerer", "The Brood", "Coma" and "Paradise Alley" I was pleasantly surprised to find them all listed under this channel. After watching them and binge watching a handful of other 70s and 80s gems you can't even find on Amazon's streaming services the entire channel has since been removed with no explanation.

Other users have confirmed that ROKU removed this channel but weren't given a clear reason why. Most of the speculation was that the channel's managers weren't paying royalties or even illegally streaming these movies without proper licensing approval, but that seems like such a juvenile Internet offense from the early days of Limewire and Napster. Has anyone else been able to get a clearer explanation?

My only guess was that the channel failed to air commercials to pay for their licensing. When you watched any movie on that channel there would be these slight pauses as if to imply that an Ad was about to appear but after a millisecond of a hiccup the channel stayed on the movie and kept playing.
