Today’s Launch Marks First vMVPD to Offer Consumers User-Generated Multiviewing on Roku
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 26, 2024--
FuboTV Inc. (d/b/a/ Fubo) (NYSE: FUBO), the leading sports-first live TV streaming platform, announced today the launch of its popular Multiview feature in beta on select Roku devices. The beta feature is expected to launch on additional Roku devices in the coming weeks.
With today’s launch, Fubo is the first virtual MVPD (vMVPD) to bring user-configurable multiviewing to Roku, America’s #1 streaming platform*. Fubo customers can select and stream up to four live channels simultaneously with Multiview beta. Multiview is fully customizable and available for all Fubo channels, unlike some multiviewing features on other streaming platforms, and particularly lends itself to live sports and news.
Fubo pioneered multiviewing when it launched Multiview on Apple TV in 2020, years ahead of other vMVPDs.
