In January, Roku announced the acquisition of streaming platform Quibi. Today Roku announces the content will be re-branded as "Roku Originals" and will be launched on The Roku Channel. Roku Originals will also be used moving forward for future original programming for the channel - the home of free, ad-supported entertainment on the Roku platform for viewers across Canada.

Roku was spotted testing out a new remote through its Early Access Program that brings some noteworthy additions. The Roku Voice Remote Pro has features like a rechargeable battery, lost remote control finder, hands-free voice, private listening via an audio jack, and, most importantly, customizable shortcuts. The last one is especially attractive to us.
Monday, January 4, 2021 at 12:28PM Short-form streaming site Quibi met its quick demise in 2020. But it doesn't mean its content might be lost forever. The Wall Street Journal reports that Roku is in discussions with Quibi to buy its content library. Roku is known for its streaming devices that stream content from your library or third-party services like Netflix. But it doesn't make its own media. If this acquisition pushes through, Roku will acquire a slate of original programming that it can offer to consumers looking to buy its hardware. There are no details on Quibi's potential selling price.
Quibi launched earlier in 2020 and was shut down just after six months. It was founded by former Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg and headed by HP's ex-CEO Meg Whitman. The company managed to raise US$2 billion before it launched.

Roku is the next platform to offer the Peloton channel, allowing you to access the streaming fitness service. Anyone who wants to sign up for the service can do so from their Roku devices by registering using Roku Pay. You can do the Peloton bike and treadmill sessions through the app. But even if you don't have a Peloton bike or treadmill, you can use the floor-based workouts on the app. These include strength training, HIIT, yoga, meditation, and dance. Of course, you have to be a member, which starts at $12.99 a month for those who don't own Peloton bikes. New subscribers get the first 30 days for free.
