Tubi was founded by Farhad Massoudi and Thomas Ahn Hicks [7] of AdRise in San Francisco, launching in 2014 as a free service under the name Tubi TV. [8] [9] [10] In May 2017, they raised US$20 million in a round of funding from Jump Capital, Danhua Capital, Cota Capital, and Foundation Capital. [11] In June 2019, Tubi announced that it had over 20 million active monthly users, [12] and later in September, the company reported that users had streamed 132 million hours of content. [13] In September 2020, the company reported 33 million monthly users. [14]

In 2019, CEO Farhad Massoudi announced that Tubi would nearly double its 2018 spending on licensed content, close to US$100 million. [15] In February 2019, Tubi signed a distribution deal with NBCUniversal, which includes 400 TV episodes and films. [16]

Tubi became available on Vizio SmartCast on September 25, 2019. [17] On October 21, Tubi launched Tubi Kids, a dedicated hub for the streamer's children-centric content via Roku and supported devices.

Sale to Fox

On March 17, 2020, Fox Corporation announced that it would acquire Tubi for $440 million cash upfront, with the sale being completed on April 20; Farhad Massoudi would remain at the company, which would continue as a separate subsidiary. [18] [3]

In December 2021, Fox acquired MarVista Entertainment, in a move to bolster Tubi's library and leverage its production capabilities for made-for-TV movies. [19]

In December 2022, Tubi signed a content deal with South Korean entertainment company CJ ENM, licensing a number of South Korean films and TV series. [20]

In January 2023, Tubi signed a content deal with Warner Bros. Discovery for 11 new FAST channels and adding on demand content from various Warner Bros. Discovery properties. [21]

In July 2023, Anjali Sud was announced as the new CEO of Tubi following the departure of Farhad Massoudi. [22]

In December 2023, Tubi signed a new content deal with Warner Bros Discovery to bring nine new FAST channels along with adding DC shows and movies for on demand. [23]

In May 2024, Tubi sued a law firm called Keller Postman for allegedly manufacturing tens of thousands of meritless discrimination claims against it in the hopes of coercing a settlement. [24]

Investors and board members

Sandy Grushow, former Fox TV chair, is an advisory board member. [25]

Mark Amin, former vice chair of Lionsgate, was an investor before the Fox acquisition.

As of 2014, Adrise, the company behind Tubi, has raised $4 million in capital. Principal investors include Foundation Capital, Bobby Yazdani, Zod Nazem, SGH Capital, and Streamlined Ventures. [26] [27]

Global availability

In November 2015, AdRise partnered with Blue Ant Media to launch Tubi in Canada. [28]

Tubi became inaccessible throughout the European Union as a result of the GDPR entering into force on May 25, 2018. [29] [30] It was later announced that Tubi would relaunch in the United Kingdom by early 2019. [31] [32] In July 2024, Tubi relaunched in the United Kingdom with ads. According to their website, they "hope to relaunch in the EU in the future". [33] and is "working on compliance [with GDPR] and is planning to relaunch in European countries soon". [34]

Tubi officially launched in Australia and New Zealand on September 1, 2019. [35]

In January 2020, the platform announced an expansion to Mexico, in a partnership with TV Azteca. [36]

In July 2022, Tubi announced a partnership with Shaw Communications to make the service available to all of Shaw's customers, and further expanding Tubi's reach in Canada. [37]

In August 2022, the service launched in Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala and Panama. [38] [39]

In July 2024, Tubi finally launched in the United Kingdom. [40]

Programming

As of January 2023, Tubi's programming includes more than 40,000 films and television series from more than 250 providers (American and foreign). These have included:

Since its acquisition by Fox Corporation, Tubi also carries programming from Fox Entertainment, Fox Soul, local news from stations owned by Fox as well as affiliates of other major networks, [45] and Fox Weather. The service began producing its own original content in 2021, including television films and series. [46] And even before the acquisition, through the Español and Tubi Kids hubs respectively, the service also inherited former MundoFox game show Minuto para Ganar as well as a few shows that previously aired on Fox's former 4Kids TV block (such as Chaotic (only available in the Spanish-language section), Dinosaur King , G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 , Sonic X , and several entries in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise). [47] [48]

Tubi uses a real-time bidding platform for advertisers that deliver video ads across various platforms. [49]
