Systems and methods for WLAN channel allocation in communication networks are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computer-based system to manage content streaming from a sender to a receiver comprises a processor and logic instructions stored in a tangible computer-readable medium coupled to the processor which, when executed by the processor, configure the processor to maintain, in a memory coupled to the controller, a list of specified service set identifier (SSID) devices, maintain a plurality of communication channels available for use in a wireless network environment, define at least a first reserved communication channel from the plurality of communication channels, receive a request from an SSID device for access to wireless network resources managed by the WLAN controller, and allocate the at least a first reserved communication channel to the SSID device when the SSID device is on the list of specified SSID devices.
