How software is changing the next generation of TV
summary
Roku claims the TV market is shifting to streaming and backs it with numbers: 5.5 billion streaming hours last year (up 72%), roughly 10 million active accounts, and monetization split roughly half from media/licensing and half from hardware today. The company ships the Streaming Stick, licenses Roku OS into TVs (over a million units, Roku TV on 60 models and ~8% U.S. smart‑TV share), runs a Roku ad framework that handles one third of OTT ads, and adds universal search and merchandising across 3,000+ apps.
