During the American Film Market Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer of Tubi TV, speaks at the AFM Conference The Rise of AVOD panel on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

In the third week of October, Tubi Kids, a new area of Tubi that features a library of children’s content, rolled out to consumers in the USA via Roku devices. It contained over 1,200 titles with the launch – or over 5,000 hours of content – and at the start of November the service include the movies How to Train Your Dragon, Norm of the North, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, alongside series with iconic characters including Sonic the Hedgehog, Strawberry Shortcake, Paddington Bear, The Wiggles and many more – all completely free to the consumer.

Farhad Massoudi, CEO of Tubi: “We’re ramping up our international expansion with the UK launch being the first of several forthcoming territories and look forward to announcing them soon. The launch of Tubi Kids reinforces our dedication to offer an age-appropriate viewing environment – super-serving kids and families with a robust amount of content.”

In June, Tubi reported it had streamed 94 million hours of content for the month of May – a record at that time. Since then, demand has grown to over 132 million hours in September – a 40% increase in four months. New titles currently available include Megamind starring Will Ferrell and Tina Fey, Scary Movie 1 and 2 starring Marlon Wayans and Anna Faris, the Academy Award®-winner No Country for Old Men directed by Joel & Ethan Cohen, and the 13th season of the hit TV series The Bachelorette.
