Roku Pays to be a Player

The Wall Street Journal

streaming devices

Roku still inhabits an enviable position in the streaming wars. The company powers about 38% of streaming devices and connected TVs in the U.S., according to Parks Associates, representing a leading market share over platforms backed by tech titans Amazon , Apple and Google. That share provides valuable advertising real estate to tech and media giants pushing their own streaming services as well as other advertisers cutting back on traditional TV spending. Roku said Wednesday that it earned double the dollar commitment at this year’s Upfronts compared with last year. The company just needs to get enough devices in front of the eyeballs that advertisers are paying to reach.
