Blue Ant Media Launches New Channels on The Roku Channel in the U.S.

Roku has added three Blue Ant Media linear channels—Love Nature, Love Nature Español and ZooMoo—to The Roku Channel in the U.S.

The deal is part of Roku’s expansion of its free live/linear channel lineup, which now offers more than 100 free channels. Love Nature and ZooMoo are also launching in conjunction with Roku’s new Live TV Channel Guide, which offers users a new, easy-to-navigate, on-screen guide experience.

Programming on Roku’s Love Nature channels includes Secrets of Wild Australia, Animal Empires and Land of Gremlins. ZooMoo’s lineup includes the live-action preschool series Kooki’s Crafty Show and the live-action, puppet-based series Lost.

Ward Platt, CEO of kids and global networks at Blue Ant Media, said: “Blue Ant Media’s partnership with Roku is an important step in our AVOD expansion in the U.S. market because it allows us to introduce our suite of premium brands to one of the largest and most engaged streaming audiences in the world. Audiences can expect an award-winning lineup of nature and kids programming, which is now in high demand as parents seek out shows they can trust for their children during these unprecedented times.”
