This news comes as Roku recently announced a new soundbar with a built-in Roku under the Walmart Onn brand. This was a slightly less powerful version of the Roku Soundbar but started at just $129.
We first learned of this partnership back in August 2019. Buried within Roku’s 2nd quarter earning statement was a short line that said, “We recently agreed with Walmart to offer several new Roku devices including audio products to their customers under their onn brand. This is in addition to Roku TVs and Roku players already sold through Walmart.” (Walmart Onn brand is Walmart’s store brand electronics name.)
Now it Seems Roku TVs are also a part of this Walmart partnership with Roku.
