Roku Wisely Rebrands Its Soon-to-Debut Quibi Content as ‘Roku Originals’

Quibi content acquired by Roku earlier this year will henceforth be known as Roku Originals, a move that should mercifully allow all of us to move on from the memory of Quibi’s spectacular implosion. When the haul of 75 originals debuts on the platform, they will be ad-supported and free to stream on the Roku…

Roku’s first exclusive series to arrive on the Roku Channel will premier this month.

Roku Apparently Has Content Dreams That Are Bigger Than Quibi

After snapping up much of Quibi’s content, it looks like Roku may be exploring the development of its own originals—kind of like every other streaming service around.

Quibi’s Decaying Library of Content Will Soon Be Free on Roku

Quibi’s content is officially heading to Roku. It feels like either a month or roughly 100 years since we found out that the short-lived streaming experiment from Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman crashed and burned roughly six short months after its rocky launch. But Quibi had managed to churn out a significant amount of original…

Even in Death, Quibi’s Legal Troubles Continue

Quibi’s leadership has finally plugged the plug on a streaming service for which failure has for months seemed like an inevitability.

Since before the service even launched, Quibi has been locked in…

Don’t Cry for Quibi

A former boss of mine, someone who worked at a legacy cable TV channel that starts with F and ends with “-ox News,” first told me about Quibi last February. “It’s bite-sized video. It’s run by Meg Whitman and Jeffrey Katzenberg! It raised a few billion!” If she was so excited about it, why hadn’t…

RIP Quibi

After several tumultuous months during which each new week brought more bad news for Quibi, it appears the streaming service is throwing in the towel. Following earlier reports that Quibi had been courting potential buyers for its beleaguered short-form video service—which bet big on its so-called Turnstyle technology that lets mobile users see two different…
