Mark Cuban’s Fireside to Launch on Smart TVs, Amazon Fire TV and Roku Through Acquisition of Stremium

Mark Cuban and Falon Fatemi‘s streamer Fireside has acquired streaming platform Stremium. The purchase will allow the Fireside app to soon launch via Smart TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and other connected TV devices.

“This will immediately and substantially increase the reach of IP owners, creators and brands leveraging Fireside to build the studio, networks and streaming services of the future by providing greater accessibility to existing and new audiences,” Fatemi, Cuban’s Fireside business partner, wrote in a letter to investors obtained by PvNew.

Fatemi added: “This enables us to deliver our industry-first, second-screen experience where the audience can use their phones to engage and interact in real-time while watching on their TVs.”

Co-founded by Fatemi and Cuban, Fireside is an interactive Web3 platform that utilizes multiple monetization methods, including a membership model to give the “super fans” of its platform’s creators, including Jay Leno, Melissa Rivers, Craig Kilborn and “Entourage,” interact with the talent as they are performing live via their Fireside “networks” or “shows.”

Previously, Fireside was only available via its website and for download in the App Store.
