And just 6% of US AVOD users use Xumo, compared with nearly half of US AVOD users who use the ad-supported version of Hulu, 30% who use Roku, and 27% who use Pluto TV, And Xumo isn't special compared with other AVOD services.

Comcast will likely aim to expand Xumo's audience by leveraging the app's integrations into connected-TV hardware, particularly across its own devices. Xumo is already integrated into a broad range of smart TVs, including from LG, Panasonic, and Vizio, and CTV devices. And in August, Comcast integrated Xumo onto its proprietary Xfinity set-tops, X1 and Flex, which included voice-activated search functionality.
