How Tubi TV Plans To Take On The AVOD Market

Tubi TV knows that not everyone wants to pay for premium content.

“We see a strong desire among viewers who want free content, whether they’re viewers in search of value or subscription viewers who can’t find the content they want on their SVOD [subscription video on demand] service,” said Thomas Ahn Hicks, co-founder and head of strategy for Tubi TV.

Tubi has 9.7 million monthly mobile users on iOS and Android devices alone apart from its smart TV streams, according to research from Parks Associates noting mobile tracking data. It competes with other AVOD [ad-supported video on demand] services such as Sony Crackle.
