Roku Gains More Exclusive Content With New Movie Deal
Streaming-TV platform Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) is getting more exclusive video content after announcing a deal with Saban Films on Thursday. Following theatrical and home-entertainment releases, Roku will get exclusive pay-one window rights to the slate of films and will make them available on its ad-supported Roku Channel. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
A pay-one window gives Roku a period of exclusive broadcast rights. Such deals are common. For example, Netflix recently signed a pay-one deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment, part of parent company Sony, for its movie library. However, while common in the media industry, the deal with Saban Films is a first for Roku. But it's part of its ongoing push into original and exclusive content.
