LONDON--British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC (BSY.LN) said Thursday that Sky has made a further $0.7 million equity investment in Roku, a platform which delivers over-the-top content via its streaming devices.

This follows the total investments of $12.2 million made by Sky in Roku in July 2012 and May 2013 and will provide financing for Roku's operations and activities.

21st Century Fox has also made a further equity investment in Roku, Sky said.

British Sky Broadcasting Group, the leading pay-television operator in the U.K., is commonly known as BSkyB and trades as Sky.

BSkyB's biggest shareholder is 21st Century Fox with a 39.1% stake. Until late June, 21st Century Fox was part of the same company as The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires' owner: News Corp.
