\"quibi<\/p>\n

Quibi<\/strong> didn\u2019t find much success on our phones, so now the embattled streaming service is expanding to TV. The Quibi app has launched on Apple TV, Android TV, and Amazon Fire TV following months of struggling to find a footing as the premiere mobile streaming platform. But it appears to be too little too late, as the WSJ is reporting the service is shutting down.<\/p>\n

Quibi quietly announced the rollout of its apps for Apple TV, Android TV and Fire TV in an\u00a0updated support article<\/a>\u00a0(via The Verge<\/a>), on the heels of the company\u2019s attempts to expand its outreach beyond mobile users \u2014 making its content more shareable in May, followed by Airplay and Chromecast rollouts.<\/p>\n

But are these moves too little too late? The update comes in the wake of\u00a0a new report in\u00a0The Information<\/em><\/a>\u00a0that co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg has attempted to sell Quibi\u2019s programming to Facebook<\/a> and NBCUniversal, and that he may have plans to shut down the company entirely. This would align with a September Wall Street Journal report\u00a0that the service is exploring \u201cstrategic options\u201d including a potential sale. And now, WSJ says they have confirmed that the company is closing, reporting<\/a>: \u201cQuibi Holdings LLC is shutting itself down, according to people familiar with the matter, a crash landing for a once-highflying entertainment startup that raised $1.75 billion in capital.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quibi has struggled to establish itself as a strong streaming competitor since it launched in April, first fielding mockery of its name (short for \u201cquick bites\u201d in reference to its short 8-10 minute episodes to be watched on the go) before dealing with the unimpressed reception to its original content. Things would only get worse for Quibi, which saw a dramatic\u00a0drop in subscribers after its 90-day trial offered at launch ended, and the loss of billions of dollars\u00a0in its first quarter.<\/p>\n

Katzenberg blamed\u00a0the weak April 2020 launch of Quibi on the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, claiming that lockdown had rendered his streaming service \u2014 designed for working people on the go to watch content while commuting or on their breaks \u2014 useless. The initial launch exclusively on phones didn\u2019t help matters, with Quibi impossible to watch on a TV. But now that problem is resolved, it\u2019s just a matter of no one caring about Quibi\u2019s original content.<\/p>\n

Of course, this might not spell doom for Quibi. WSJ adds that\u00a0one of the options being considered is \u201craising more money or going public through a merger with a special-purpose acquisition company, or SPAC\u2014essentially a blank-check company that helps fund deals, the people said. Quibi is working with advisers to review its options.\u201d And perhaps a rollout on more TV platforms like Apple, Android, and Amazon Fire TV will put the streaming platform on more people\u2019s radars.<\/p>\n
