"Our number one priority has always been to give fans the best streaming experience out there and the addition of a ROKU channel completes FITE cross-device compatibility for even a greater viewer experience", commented Kosta Jordanov, FITE CEO.
Up until now the FITE instant streaming protocol supported ROKU as a media player whereby the FITE mobile app for iOS and Android discovers ROKU players automatically and allows users to cast the video over to their Roku device via WiFi.
"Direct streaming to ROKU players has worked great for our viewers to watch live on TV with the tap of a button. But as viewers are becoming more engaged with our service, they keep asking for more. And we are happy to deliver", commented Michael Weber, FITE COO.
The new ROKU channel offers viewers the added ability to browse through FITE vast content offering and order their favorite PPV event through the ROKU-native experience.
