Pour one out for Roku City
The Verge·June 16, 2026
Lachlan Murdoch, CEO of Fox Corporation, plans to acquire Roku by next year, expanding his media empire. The acquisition would grant Fox control of Roku's original programming and make the combined company the third-largest player in US television in terms of viewing share. The deal would also provide Fox with direct access to Roku's 100 million household user base. This potential merger could significantly impact the modern media landscape due to the differences between the two companies.
