Roku’s 53 million accounts will see the studio in action with today’s debut of Roku Recommends, a 15-minute weekly entertainment show featuring Walmart as its launch partner. Hosted by Maria Menounos and former NFL player Andrew “Hawk” Hawkins, Roku Recommends highlights the top five titles for its viewers to stream each week.
