What wasn’t mentioned in the HBO Max expansion announcement was any plans to give Roku users access to the streaming network. Roku users have hoped to load and watch HBO Max programming on their devices since the streaming platform debuted in May. However, a CNN report on Monday said WarnerMedia was still in talks with Roku about making HBO Max available for the millions of people who predominately use Roku for streaming. It’s unclear how much longer deliberation of that deal will take.
Currently, Netflix and Disney+ dominate the streams on Roku. The company recently settled a deal to provide access to NBC’s Peacock streaming service for users in September.
