Roku/Quibi
Roku and Quibi have officially struck a deal that will send 75+ Quibi shows to the streaming device’s The Roku Channel. They’ll be made available for free.
Technically, following an internal restructuring at Quibi, Roku acquired Quibi Holdings, LLC that’s the company that holds all of Quibi’s content distribution rights. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
One does not need a Roku device to access The Roku Channel. It can be downloaded for free on mobile devices, which is exactly where Quibi was originally conceived to be consumed.
