The Oznoz Video Channel features educational and fun cartoons for children ages 0-14 in over 10 languages, including Chinese, Spanish, German, Arabic, Persian, and Japanese. Titles include Sesame Street, Super Why!, 1001 Nights, Babar, Mixed Nutz, and much more. Through Roku, Oznoz will now have access to more than 10 million homes in the U.S. alone, which have the Roku device. Oznoz Video is also available as iOS and Android apps, and on Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV stick.

Aly Jetha, co-founder and CEO of Oznoz said, "Streaming devices are such an important element of today's TV watching experience and we're proud to partner with Roku to reach millions of users throughout the U.S. and Canada."

It's no secret that cable customers are cutting the cord, and eliminating expensive pay-TV subscription packages. As people move to services like Netflix and Amazon, new revenue channels like Oznoz also pave the way for more niche content. Shabnam Rezaei, co-founder and President of Oznoz said, "It's very important for us that families can enjoy our content wherever they are, on all their devices. Parents can download our shows on their phones and tablets and play them to kids in the car or at a doctor's office, even offline. That's something many streaming services like Netflix or Hulu do not offer. Being present on Roku exposes our excellent content to a larger number of families."
