DMR expands presence on Roku Channel by launching AsianCrush

The Roku Channel and DMR have further expanded their relationship through the linear launch of AsianCrush in the US.
AsianCrush is dedicated to bringing fans the best of pan-Asian entertainment. From popular Korean TV dramas and blockbuster movies to festival circuit darlings and cult classics, you'll find the cutting edge in entertainment from South Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, and more. In addition to this 24/7, free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel, AsianCrush is also available as a video-on-demand web experience (www.asiancrush.com) and app (free, or with a premium subscription for ad-free).
Said DMR's Director of Digital Distribution and Content Strategy John Stack: "Our relationship with The Roku Channel in the U.S. and Canada has been mutually-beneficial since it began nearly two years ago, and we're pleased to find new opportunities to utilize what each company does best. We believe The Roku Channel users will enjoy viewing the wide variety of Asian entertainment that AsianCrush consistently delivers, and are delighted to be expanding the reach of this popular, premium content."
DMR previously launched AsianCrush, RetroCrush and Midnight Pulp on The Roku Channel in Canada last December with the premieres of the three DMR streaming channels marking the company's linear entry into the Canadian marketplace. In November 2020 DMR's RetroCrush, Midnight Pulp and Cocoro channels launched on The Roku Channel in the U.S.
