HBO Max Expands it Reach to Roku

Nearly seven months after HBO Max’s debut, it’s finally available on Roku, the leading OTT (over the top) screening platform with over 46 million active users. As reported in Variety, this new deal will greatly expand HBO Max’s reach, as it now has a presence on all ATT platforms.

Hosts Daniel Litwin and Tyler Kern discussed this new launch breaking down:

  • This comes off the news that all Warner Bros.’s 2021 films will debut on HBO Max.
  • Roku shares were up 3% after the announcement.
