TORONTO – Global TV is now streaming across all Roku devices in Canada after becoming the first broadcaster to sign on to the streaming service north of the border.
Global said Tuesday that the move both broadens its reach and gives audiences a new way to watch its content, including hits like New Amsterdam, 9-1-1, Saturday Night Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Survivor, and Big Brother Canada. Full episodes of Global series are available for free on Roku streaming devices for the first seven days after they air on television.
Consumers can access the Roku platform through Roku streaming players as well as Roku TV models from Hisense, RCA, Sharp, Sanyo and TCL. The Global TV App can be added from the Roku Channel Store in the Movies & TV category.
“We are thrilled to be the first Canadian broadcaster to bring our premium programming to Roku’s extensive and highly-engaged user base,” said Drew Robinson, Corus’ content distribution VP, in the news release. “Global continues to offer viewers anytime, anywhere options to access our content and we look forward to growing our audiences even further with Roku.”
In addition to Roku streaming devices, the Global TV App is available on iOS, Apple TV, Android, Google Chromecast, and Amazon Fire TV.
