Roku Launches The Roku Channel in Stay-at-Home U.K.
On Monday, streaming pioneer Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) announced the debut of The Roku Channel, its free, ad-supported streaming channel, in the United Kingdom. The platform gives viewers access to more than 10,000 movies, television episodes, and documentaries. The company said there are no subscriptions, fees, or logins required. Viewers can access the service using a Roku streaming player, a NOW TV device, or the Sky Q Box, as well as TVs with the Roku operating system.
While Roku has been planning the move for a while, it couldn't come at a better time for citizens of the U.K., who -- like much of the world -- have been on lockdown since March in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
