Made by Asians for Asia and beyond, the GAME channel on Roku was established to boost Asian representation across various media formats and highlight its culture, lifestyle, music, fashion, character, stories, diversity, and talents on screen.
“While Asian representation has improved in recent years, the amount of exposure still falls short, especially in lead roles on and off the camera,” says founder Xiao Qiao Liu Winter. “We hope to change the narrative and put Asia in the global spotlight.”
