A deal that could reshape how free streaming services scale up is coming together: ROKiT Flix, the world’s first and largest completely free, ad-free streaming platform, has signed a major partnership with FreeCast, Inc. The agreement, announced today from Kingswood Business Park in the United Kingdom, aims to dramatically broaden the entertainment options available to ROKiT Flix’s growing audience without compromising its core promise of no cost and no commercials.
ROKiT Flix, the world’s first and largest completely free, ad-free streaming entertainment service offering over 50,000 hours of content, partners with FreeCast
With more than 50,000 hours of family-friendly entertainment already available on ROKiT Flix, we have built something truly unique”— Jonathan Kendrick
ROKiT Flix is free to download and free to watch. It currently offers more than 50,000 hours of family-friendly entertainment, including animated movies, 2D and 3D animation, classic cartoons, motion comics, and original programming. According to independent analytics provider AppBrain, the platform had approximately 2.9 million estimated Android installations as of October 2026. That user base is now set to gain access to a much wider universe of content.

The new agreement with FreeCast will introduce a complementary, ROKiT Flix-branded streaming marketplace powered by FreeCast’s advanced Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) technology. This expanded offering will provide access to additional free television channels, on-demand movies and entertainment, as well as optional premium subscription services. Crucially, ROKiT Flix’s existing core service will remain a separate free, advertising-free offering. The new marketplace is expected to include advertising-supported programming and optional paid subscriptions, with content and service availability varying by market and applicable programming rights.
Jonathan Kendrick, Chairman of ROKiT, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. “We are absolutely delighted to be partnering with FreeCast. From the very beginning, our vision for ROKiT Flix has been to make great entertainment available to everyone, everywhere, completely free of charge and without the interruption of advertising,” Kendrick said. “With more than 50,000 hours of family-friendly entertainment already available on ROKiT Flix, we have built something truly unique. We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy quality entertainment without having to pay subscription fees or sit through endless advertisements.”
Kendrick also framed the partnership as a strategic next step. “Our partnership with FreeCast represents an exciting next chapter for ROKiT Flix. The planned complementary marketplace is intended to give our audiences additional entertainment choices, including live television channels, movies and optional premium content. We remain committed to maintaining our existing core ROKiT Flix service as free to download, free to watch and advertising-free.” He added, “We look forward to working closely with William Mobley and his team at FreeCast to make this expanded entertainment experience available to ROKiT Flix audiences in supported markets.”
Under the agreement, ROKiT Flix will integrate and promote access to a new branded entertainment experience powered by FreeCast’s streaming technology. The expanded service is expected to offer a broad range of additional entertainment options, including free streaming television channels, video-on-demand programming, movies, and premium subscription services. Again, ROKiT Flix’s existing library of more than 50,000 hours of entertainment will remain completely free and advertising-free.
William Mobley, Founder and CEO of FreeCast, explained why the partnership fits his company’s model. “ROKiT Flix represents exactly the type of opportunity our Platform-as-a-Service model was designed to support. They have already invested in building an impressive entertainment brand, an extensive family-friendly content library and a substantial consumer distribution network,” Mobley said. “FreeCast provides the technology infrastructure to help extend that investment into a much broader entertainment marketplace, bringing additional television channels, on-demand content and premium services to ROKiT Flix viewers.”
Mobley also emphasized a philosophical difference from other streaming players. “Our business model is fundamentally different from traditional streaming services. We are not trying to replace the brands consumers already know and enjoy. Instead, we provide the technology that allows those brands to expand their offerings, introduce additional services and develop new revenue opportunities.” He concluded, “We are very pleased to be working with Jonathan Kendrick and the ROKiT Flix team, and we look forward to helping them take their entertainment offering to the next level.”
By combining ROKiT Flix’s distinctive entertainment offering with FreeCast’s streaming marketplace technology, the two companies intend to create additional opportunities for content discovery, distribution, and audience growth. The agreement also demonstrates the versatility of FreeCast’s technology, which enables established consumer brands, telecommunications companies, broadcasters, and entertainment providers to offer expanded streaming services without having to develop their own complex technology infrastructure.
Both companies will work together on implementation, with further details regarding availability and rollout to be announced in due course.
Why it matters: This partnership signals that the streaming wars are moving beyond just adding new subscription services. For a platform that has already proven that free, ad-free content can attract millions of users, the next frontier is offering more choices without alienating that core audience. If successful, this model could become a template for how other niche streaming brands scale up using third-party technology rather than building everything from scratch.
