Roku and Fox strike a last-minute deal to keep Super Bowl-streaming apps working
For a moment, it looked Roku owners would be losing the highest-quality way to stream the Super Bowl for free, when the set-top box maker announced Thursday that it would abruptly pull Fox’s apps off the platform a day ahead of the game. But that won’t actually be happening.
Late Friday, Roku and Fox announced that they’ve reached a new agreement that will ensure the Fox apps keep on working without pause and they’ll be restored to the Roku app store this weekend ahead of the game, Roku tells The Verge.
