Roku Inc. said Tuesday the Roku Channel will be available as an app on select Samsung smart TVs in the U.S. later this summer. The Roku Channel features films from its content partners and is ad-supported, offering about half the advertising per programming hour as is shown on traditional TV. Roku completed its initial public offering last September to some fanfare, but the stock has struggled in recent months. It was up 4.8% premarket, but is down 35% in 2018 to date, while the S&P 500 has gained 1.5%.
