Mike Gamboa of Roku talks about their partnership with NBC and the awesome 2020 Tokyo Olympic experience.

This week my guest is Mike Gamboa, Director of Partner Growth at Roku he ran point on the partnership deal with NBC Universal creating the 2020 Tokyo Olympic experience.

For the first time ever, Roku has created an easy-to-access way to watch all of NBCU’s 5,500 hours of streaming coverage of the Summer Games directly from the home screen.
Additionally, Roku users will be able to access in-depth coverage of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan via the NBC Sports or Peacock channels on Roku devices that began on July 20, 2021, and will continue through August 8, 2021, when the 2020 games will end.

Roku users will be greeted with a dedicated 2020 Tokyo Olympics experience on the left-side menu on the home screen. The experience will be available on supported devices. Ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games, a countdown clock will track the time remaining to the Opening Ceremony and users will have access to free Olympics-related content, as well as a quick informational video on how to watch the 2020 Olympics Games on their Roku devices.

Once the Olympic Games begin, the countdown clock will be replaced with a medal tracker. Users will be able to stream free daily highlights, get easy access to live shows, condensed replays, and highlights for free through Peacock. Users can watch live events through NBC Sports.
