Warner Bros Discovery licenses movies and TV shows to Roku, Tubi

Warner Bros Discovery Inc has reached deals with streaming services Roku Inc and Fox Corp’s Tubi to license 2,000 hours of movies and TV series, as it becomes the latest media company to embrace free, ad-supported streaming TV.

The deals include the science-fiction western “Westworld,” the reality series “Cake Boss,” and reality dating series “F-Boy Island”, the companies said, as Warner Bros seeks new ways to monetize its library of film and TV content.
