    Roku Grows To 90M Households

    Roku’s Stock Market Pricing Could Also See Another Bump

    Streaming distribution service Roku is now in 90 million North American households — and is in nearly half of all U.S. broadband households.

    Overall, Anthony Wood, founder and CEO, of Roku, in a release says the platform has “more engagement than any other TV OS [operating system] platform in the U.S.” The households consist of homes in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The growth overdelivered on one analyst estimate, which expected the company to get to 88 to 89 million homes by the end of the fourth quarter.

    Netflix delivered strong NFL broadcast-like viewership for its exclusive and first-time NFL airings on Christmas Day — averaging 24.2 million U.S. viewers for two games, according to Nielsen — and averted any industry concerning buffering or latency issues.

    In addition, Netflix football airings became the most-streamed NFL games in U.S. history — surpassing those on NBCUniversal’s Peacock streamer, which in January aired an NFL Wild Card playoff game between the Miami Dolphins-Kansas City Chiefs. Peacock earned an average 22.9 million Nielsen-measured viewers.
