# Fox is buying streaming hardware firm Roku for $22-billion

**[TechCentral](https://daily.dev/sources/techcentral)** · 2 min read · 15 upvotes · 6 comments

## Summary

Fox Corp is acquiring Roku in a cash-and-stock deal valued at approximately $22 billion, paying $160 per share — an 11.4% premium. The deal gives Fox direct access to Roku's 100+ million streaming households, enabling better targeted advertising and reduced dependence on traditional cable distribution. Combined with Fox's Tubi and Roku's own channel, the merged entity would become the third-largest US television player by viewing share. Fox shareholders will own ~73% of the combined company, with Roku shareholders holding ~27%. The deal is expected to close in the first half of next year.

> I hate so much that the big companies just get bigger and bigger and bigger, buying all the small ones, hoarding money in the trillions and making everything more expensive for everybody.

> I think they think they're going to force all those users to get cable subscriptions again in order to use their new Foxku.
