It’s going to be a quiet month on broadcast, so we’re turning to streaming platforms to give us entertainment. The problem is we don’t want to have to pay for yet another one, so it’s time to turn to the free streamers.

Amazon has its own, Freevee. It was known as IMDb TV before. There is one new original series arriving and plenty of movies for the whole family.

It’s on Thursday, September 28

It’s official: The first ever People’s Choice Country Awards, hosted by fan favorite Little Big Town, is this week! With an absolutely iconic list of honorees, performers, and award nominees, this show is not one to be missed. The best part: none of your favorites will get snubbed by shady judges because the winners are decided by fans just like you. “The fan-voted shows are just so much fun because it’s their choice on who they want to see up there,” Little Big Town told Country Living. The People’s Choice Awards have been around since the inaugural 1975 show, but now they’re doubling up with an additional show just for country’s finest.

Of course, there’s no better place to host a country awards show than Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, a venue that is so special for many including Little Big Town. “It made a lot of sense to bring it to Nashville, to bring it to the Grand Ole Opry […] Our first performance as a band was at the Grand Ole Opry 24 years ago […] it’s a very full circle moment,” Little Big Town said.

How to Watch and Stream People’s Choice Country Awards

If you’re set on tuning in for this historic show, you’ll need to know how to watch. On Thursday, September 28, the People’s Choice Country Awards will be broadcasting live on NBC and Peacock. There will also be special live backstage coverage streaming simultaneously on Peacock, PCA X (formerly known as Twitter) and NBC X, Facebook and Youtube, among others. The backstage coverage will include red carpet arrivals, backstage conversations and more. Fans can also attend the event in person at the Grand Ole Opry, with tickets starting at $100.

Viewers can expect performances by Blake Shelton, Carly Pearce, Kane Brown, Little Big Town, Wynonna Judd, Toby Keith, HARDY, Jelly Roll, Dan + Shay, and Kelsea Ballerini. Blake Shelton will also present the Country Music Icon award to Toby Keith, while Wynonna Judd will receive The Country Champion award “celebrating her decades-long commitment to philanthropy and social advocacy,” a press release revealed.

For those skeptical about the safety of various unknown websites, a well-known and overall trusted source of free movies is YouTube. While all of the movies contain a higher frequency of ads than other sites, the amount of mainstream options available here is worth the look. Since it’s a familiar layout for most, navigating the site shouldn’t cause any holdups.

One of the few on this list that has its own original content, The Roku Channel is a unique option for the casual viewer. With no need to sign up or register, it’s easy to start streaming one of the many titles available. While it is one of the favored free sites to stream, the quality of content is somewhat limited, making it a good option to catch an arthouse film you may have missed. And if you’ve been wanting to watch the Weird Al movie, this is the only place you can.
