Roku has agreed to acquire the rights to content from Quibi, a deal that will make shows produced by the short-form streaming service available on The Roku Channel sometime this year.
2020 has been an unusual year with most people having to adapt to new technologies to get through the year. Let's take a look at what we consider to be the biggest tech disappointments of 2020.
Quibi has reportedly hired a restructuring company that recommended shutting down the company, among other options. The streaming service is struggling to grow its viewership amid the pandemic.
Quibi, which launched in April, has reportedly lost more than 90% of early users after free trials expired. About 72,000 subscribers continued with the service after the 90-day free trial.
Quibi was downloaded 1.7 million times in its first week, the company CEO Meg Whitman told CNBC. She also said that the company is working on a feature that would let users cast app to TVs.
