Peacock kicked off across the country on July 15, but until now it wasn`t available on Roku and Amazon Fire TV. WarnerMedias HBO Max remains unavailable on Roku and Fire TV due to market disagreements. Roku and NBCU reached an agreement Friday afternoon to access the Peacock app on the streaming platform`s roku players and TVs. In addition, the companies renewed their agreement to own 46 NBCU broadcast and cable apps on Roku after the media company threatened to retire them over the weekend due to the Dispute over Peacock. “Roku is an important partner and we hope to reach an agreement quickly,” said a charter manager at THE TV Answerman, who found that Roku added Charter`s app for the first time in 2015. For months, neither Roku nor Comcast could agree on aspects of the deal. Much of it was related to ad inventory. This applies to the percentage of ads that Roku takes control of as soon as they are made available on its platform. On Roku`s website, the company says a channel controls 70 percent of its ad inventory, while Roku controls the remaining 30 percent. Despite the counter-offers that brought both parties to the table, neither Roku nor Comcast and the NBCUniversal team deemed them fair. “Despite our efforts to reach an agreement, Roku did not accept Spectrum`s offer to continue our contract that allowed customers to access the Spectrum TV app from Roku devices.
This change may prevent further downloads of the Spectrum TV app on your Roku device, but you can continue to access your entire video library by downloading the Spectrum TV app to your Apple TV, Samsung Smart TV, Xbox, smartphone or tablet,” Spectrum wrote in a statement posted on its website. We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Comcast that brings Peacock to Roku customers and maintains access to NBCU`s TV Everywhere apps,” a Roku spokesperson said. We look forward to bringing these new options to consumers as part of a broad, mutually beneficial relationship between our businesses, which includes the addition of NBC content to The Roku Channel and a valuable partnership around advertising. Roku is the 3rd. 2020 ended with 46 million active accounts, and WarnerMedia has yet to agree on HBO Max because WarnerMedia HBO Max didn`t want to sell through The Roku Channel, Roku`s aggregation service for free, ad-supported, subscription-based streaming services. . . .
