In an new deal that will contribute to an overall package of over 1500 hours of content, Big Media, a producer and distributor of non-fiction content, has signed a refresh deal with The Roku Channel for an additional 500+ hours. The shows will be available to viewers on The Roku Channel in the US, Latin America and the UK.
Under the terms of the deal, The Roku Channel will gain rights to expand its food, home renovation, and garden content, along with popular non-fiction series "Hollywood Weapons", "Most Haunted", and "Wardens", as well as 33 others from Big Media’s vast library of content.
Danny Wilk, President of Big Media praised their partners: “The Roku Channel has been a tremendous partner to BIG Media and we’re thrilled the relationship continues to grow as their audience continues to expand. The Roku Channel strives to offer a variety of programming to engage viewers and attract advertisers. BIG Media has been a consistent source of high-quality content that resonates with streamers across the platform," commented.
Previously, The Roku Channel licensed BIG Media originals for its service, including "Fatal Forecast", "Destruction Decoded", "Desperate Hours", "Animal Special Forces", and "Race of Life". Due to the strong performance of these and other titles, The Roku Channel has added another 500 hours of BIG Media content.
