An Overview of GAC Family
In case you’re not familiar, GAC Family (originally called Great American Country or GAC) is a popular cable channel focused on family-friendly programming. Owned by Great American Media, it rebranded to GAC Family in 2021 and directly competes with other channels like Hallmark.
GAC Family broadcasts a mix of original shows, classic sitcoms like Bewitched and Silver Spoons, and made-for-TV holiday movies. It’s a great channel for lighthearted, wholesome entertainment the whole family can enjoy.
Why GAC Family Isn’t Available as a Roku Channel
Unfortunately, you can’t simply add GAC Family as a channel directly through your Roku device. Unlike other popular cable channels, GAC Family is not available on the Roku Channel Store for direct subscription.
However, there are still a few easy workarounds using live TV streaming platforms. As long as you subscribe to a service like Philo, Hulu, or Sling TV, you can then install that app on your Roku and access GAC Family through there.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Here is exactly how to get GAC Family on your Roku using one of the following live TV streaming services:
Option 1: Philo
Philo is a budget-friendly streaming provider that offers GAC Family along with 60+ other popular cable channels. Plans start at only $25/month.
To get set up:
- Sign up for a Philo free trial (no credit card required).
- On your Roku home screen, search for and install the Philo channel.
- Open the Philo channel on your Roku and log in with your Philo account credentials.
- You can now stream GAC Family along with tons of other great channels!
Option 2: Hulu + Live TV
In addition to their entire on-demand streaming library, Hulu + Live TV subscribers also get access to over 75 live channels, including GAC Family. Plans start at $76.99/month.
To get set up:
- Start your Hulu + Live TV free trial.
- Search for and install the Hulu channel on your Roku home screen.
- Open the Hulu channel, log into your account, and start streaming GAC Family!
Option 3: Sling TV
Both the Sling Orange and Sling Blue packages (starting at $40/month) include GAC Family along with 30+ other top cable channels. Their free trial makes it easy to test it out.
To get set up, it’s the same simple steps – just search for Sling TV instead of Philo or Hulu in step 2 above.
