Roku’s ad-supported video channel will be launching on some Samsung smart TVs later this summer.
“The Roku Channel has been a tremendous success giving our customers the free content they desire,” said Scott Rosenberg, general manager of the platform business at Roku, in a statement. “By broadening our distribution of this app to other viewing platforms such as Samsung, the #1 TV maker in the U.S., we are able to engage millions more consumers with free ad-supported entertainment.”
The expanded device availability for the Roku Channel arrives several months after the service first launched in September 2017. The Roku Channel features content from studios including Lionsgate, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Sony Pictures Entertainment and Warner Brothers, as well as content from existing channel publishers like American Classics, Fandor, FilmRise, Nosey, OVGuide, Popcornflix, Vidmark and YuYu.
