Quibi is in advanced talks to sell its content catalog to Roku Inc., according to people familiar with the matter, as the short-form streaming service winds down its operations following an unsuccessful run.

Quibi, which was founded by movie mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, raised $1.75 billion with an ambitious plan to develop high-end content for mobile phones. But the service, which launched in April, never gained traction and Quibi said in October it was shutting down.
