Right now, OUTtv's lineup includes LGBTQ-focused documentaries and comedies that span the Apple TV Channel, the Amazon Channel, and a scattering of free ad-supported services depending on where you watch. The strongest picks this month are two gay-rodeo and workplace documentaries, a streaming-only wedding comedy, and two titles that split between the US and other regions. Because OUTtv distributes through several third-party platforms rather than one single app, "what's on OUTtv" depends partly on which service you're checking and which country you're in. The breakdown below separates what's actually available where, so you don't end up paying for a channel subscription to find a title that's free elsewhere.

What's streaming on OUTtv's Apple TV Channel
Three documentaries anchor the OUTtv Apple TV Channel catalog at the moment. "Queens and Cowboys: A Straight Year on the Gay Rodeo," a 2014 documentary following a season on the gay rodeo circuit, is currently available there in the US, and it's also on Peacock Premium along with eight other services, according to JustWatch. "Burn the Ships" is also streaming on the OUTtv Apple TV Channel in the US right now, with fuboTV and nine other services carrying it as well, per JustWatch.
If you already subscribe to one of those other platforms, you likely don't need the OUTtv channel just for this title. The third is "Still Working 9 to 5," which sits on the OUTtv Apple TV Channel but is also free with ads on Roku Channel, Plex, and Tubi in the US, according to JustWatch. That makes it the easiest of the three to watch without paying for anything.
What's on the Amazon Channel instead
A separate set of titles runs through the OUTtv Amazon Channel rather than Apple TV. "Good Kisser" is currently available there in the US, and JustWatch lists it across 18 other countries and services, including as a straight rental on Amazon Prime Video — worth checking before paying for channel access if you'd rather rent once.
"Such Good People" is on the OUTtv Amazon Channel as well, though that listing is specific to Germany, with no free-with-ads alternative there, per JustWatch. If you're outside Germany, the title may not appear on your region's OUTtv Amazon listing at all, since channel catalogs are frequently geo-restricted.
A Canada-only pick worth knowing about
"It's All Sunshine and Rainbows," a 2023 film running about 1 hour 30 minutes with a modest user score of 3.8 out of 66 ratings, is currently available on both the OUTtv Amazon Channel and OUTtv Apple TV Channel — but only in Canada, with no free option listed, according to JustWatch. US viewers won't find it on either channel version in their region right now.
This is a useful reminder that OUTtv's catalog isn't uniform across borders. The same channel brand can carry different titles in Canada than it does in the US, so a recommendation from one region's listing won't necessarily hold up in another.
Which platform should you actually use?
Where you watch OUTtv depends on what's already in your household. Beyond its own standalone app, OUTtv is distributed through Amazon Prime Video Channels in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, the Apple TV Channel in the US and Canada, the Roku Channel in the US, and YouTube TV along with Primetime Channels in the US, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
- If you already have Prime Video, add the Amazon Channel for titles like "Good Kisser."
- If you use Apple TV, the Apple TV Channel carries "Queens and Cowboys," "Burn the Ships," and "Still Working 9 to 5."
- If you'd rather not pay for a channel at all, check Tubi, Plex, or Roku Channel first — "Still Working 9 to 5" is free on all three.
- If you're in Canada, the Apple TV and Amazon channel listings differ from the US, as shown by "It's All Sunshine and Rainbows."
What it costs to subscribe directly
If none of the bundled channels fit your setup, OUTtv also sells subscriptions directly through its own site. The official plans are $5.99 a month, $29.99 for six months, or $59.99 a year, plus tax, and every new subscriber buying directly at OUTtv.com gets a one-time seven-day free trial, according to OUTtv's official help center. That trial gives you enough time to work through the documentaries above before deciding whether to keep the subscription.
