The company said roughly half of its customer base watches the channel\u2019s free ad-supported shows and movies, which it licenses from more than 200 other <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> outlets. <\/p>\n<p>The push into original shows is linked in part to the fact that Roku can gain more advertising dollars from titles housed in the Roku Channel. Roku declined to provide insight on how much it would fork over for original shows, but it told the Journal that it would be on par with basic cable shows. <\/p>\n<p>That translates to a $250,000 to $750,000 investment per un<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ed episode and $500,000 to $5 million per scripted episode, the publication said.<\/p>\n<p>Although that sounds pricey, it\u2019s still significantly lower than the $13 million an episode that Netflix shells out for its historical drama about Queen Elizabeth II, \u201cThe Crown.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/roku_04.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"In this photo illustration the Roku logo is seen displayed on a smartphone.\" class=\"wp-image-20203102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/roku_04.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/roku_04.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/roku_04.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Roku, which has over 155 million customers, is looking to amp up its entertainment offerings in order to further grow its advertising revenue.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">SOPA Images\/LightRocket via Gett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Unlike Netflix, Roku primarily makes its money from selling its $30 streaming stick, as well as from ads in streaming apps that live on its platform and content partnerships with media companies. <\/p>\n<p>In order to keep growing revenue, Roku has been expanding its entertainment portfolio as it competes head to head for eyeballs against Amazon Fire TV.\u00a0Earlier this year, Roku nabbed the exclusive global rights to 75 shows from Jeffrey Katzenberg\u2019s doomed startup Quibi, which featured short-form shows starring the likes of Kevin Hart, Idris Elba, Jennifer Lopez and Nick Jonas.<\/p>\n<p>Roku claims the Quibi deal, which cost it less than $100 million, has \u201csurpassed\u201d its \u201cexpectations,\u201d bringing in \u201cmillions of people\u201d to the Roku Channel. Although it doesn\u2019t break out figures, Roku said the amount of time customers streamed its content rose significantly during the pandemic. Last year, the service brought in nearly $1.3 billion in revenue from its platform business, which includes ads it sells in the Roku Channel and other apps on its platform. <\/p>\n<div
