Tubi has launched a set of new ad products, including “Wrappers,” which lets movie studio marketers secure prime real estate on the streaming service’s home screen.
The Fox Corp. subsidiary made the announcements Tuesday at a NewFronts presentation to advertisers, which started with a rah-rah opening by Deion Sanders and Rocsi Diaz. Sanders, the University of Colorado football coach and NFL Hall of Famer, co-hosts Tubi’s weekly talk show We Got Time Today.
Sanders and Diaz, who emceed the NewFront, introduced Tubi CEO Anjali Sud. She told ad buyers in the audience that for the streaming service’s younger-skewing and more multi-cultural viewers, “ads are part of the experience.” They are not in the mix for Tubi “as a way of driving Arpu [average revenue per user] or upselling you to an ad-free tier.”
With Fox’s resources fortifying Tubi since the company acquired it in 2020, the free platform has grown to 97 million monthly active users.

Tubi, Fox’s free, advertising-supported streaming platform, has surpassed 97 million monthly active users.
That’s a jump from more than 78 million MAUs posted in mid-2024. The streaming platform, which launched in 2014, on Monday said it streamed over 10 billion streaming hours in calendar 2024.
The latest growth spurt at Tubi comes as it fends off competition in the Fast space from top rivals like Pluto TV and Roku Channel and the service has expanded its own content offerings to more than 275,000 library movies and TV episodes and over 300 Tubi Originals.

Deion Sanders thinks his new Tubi talk series “We Got Time Today” provides him with an audience from which he can “recruit” fans — and perhaps potential football prospects.
“It puts me in front of another whole audience to not only inform and enlighten and encourage and motivate, but to recruit, really go out to recruit,” Sanders, who also serves as the head coach for the Colorado Buffaloes at the University of Colorado, told TheWrap. “I really can’t, because coaches hate … If I go visit this guy down the street and they go to the school around the corner, now they hating on me. But now I have this platform, so I can get your mama, your grandma, your grandfather, you know, Rocsi [Diaz’s] people. I can get everybody.”
“But I’m just sitting up there talking, just being authentic,” he continued. “So it’s another mechanism that you...
