ABC OTT affiliate deals now represent more than 90% of U.S. TV households. The company’s Clearinghouse initiative distribution partners include DirecTV Now, Sony PlayStation Vue, Google (YouTube TV) and CenturyLink.
The new initiative will offer the network’s affiliates pre-negotiated agreements for digital distribution of their live, linear feeds as well as potential opportunities for local VOD distribution. First on board are Hearst’s 14 ABC affils.
