Hi Monica, I completely understand how you feel — that’s a very valid concern, and I appreciate you sharing it. Roku announced an agreement to combine with Fox Corporation, but the deal isn’t final yet and is expected to close in the first half of 2027. Until then, Roku and Fox remain separate companies operating independently. Your Roku device and apps will continue to work as normal, and there are no expected changes to pricing or free content at this time. I’ll make a note of your feedback so our team is aware. Is there anything I can help you with on your Roku device today? Sincerely, Roku Escalations Team
