Quibi CEO says you'll eventually be able to watch Quibi shows on your TV, not just your smartphone
mobile-only streaming service
, which launched earlier this month, was touted in commercials as a way to watch shows while out and about. But, as more people stay home because of the coronavirus, Quibi will expedite the ability to watch its shows on televisions. Asked by CNBC's Sara Eisen if, "given the new realities," Quibi would be expanded to home platforms like smart TVs, Whitman said that Quibi is working to give users the ability to cast shows to their televisions.
"We had always planned to be able to cast to your TV, so we're gonna see if we can accelerate that in the engineering roadmap," Whitman said. "We'll eventually get there but it was never a part of the launch. If we had known about COVID, maybe it would have been." Even as people stay home, Whitman said that people are still having "in-between moments" on their phones to use the streaming platform, which has short, 10-minute episodes of shows.
