Roku TVs and devices deliver an unparalleled viewing experience with a simple and iconic interface, seamless navigation, and a commitment to excellence that sets the standard in streaming. Last year, Roku continued to introduce innovative features that enhance the TV experience, including Backdrops, which transforms any Roku TV into a work of art, and Roku Smart Picture, which automatically optimizes picture quality.

Roku TVs and streaming players offer incredible value for customers with an always expanding content library, including over 500 free live linear channels in the U.S., premium exclusive content, and thousands of free-on demand options. The Roku Channel is a top 10 streaming service in the U.S. and has seen over 80% year-over-year growth. With the increasing number of streaming choices available, Roku’s features like universal search, What to Watch, and Live TV Guide make it easy to find your favorite content across multiple apps, and Roku’s unique content destinations, like the recent Olympics Zone, offer genre-based programming from across the platform in one convenient location, for seamless browsing and discovery.

Roku devices, featuring the Roku Experience, form the foundation of Roku’s platform business, which encompasses advertising and subscriptions. Advertisers love Roku because it’s the lead-in to all TV, featuring unique advertising experiences like Roku City and the Sports Zone. Streaming services appreciate the ability to promote subscriptions on the Roku platform, and Roku Pay simplifies the process for streamers seeking a simple way to sign up for and manage subscriptions through Roku.
