Crave is Now Available on Roku Streaming Devices, and I say it's about time.

The Crave TV app has been out for over 4 years on nearly every streaming platform except Roku, perhaps the most popular streaming devices in Canada. Why it took so long for Bell Media's streaming service to make it to the Roku platform is unknown. Crave TV is now available for your Roku device, and I say it's about time.

Here is the press release from PR Newswire:
