The panelists will address direct sales, programmatic advertising and bundling streaming with linear ads, along with how advertisers are finding success with strategies like personalization, sales attribution and audience segmentation and a check-in on the state of OTT ad technology.

“News organizations have always embraced streaming as the most TV-like of its digital offerings with the highest monetization potential to boot,” said TVNewsCheck Editor Michael Depp. “Christian, Maggie, Roma and Joe will share what they’ve learned as the most effective approaches with AVOD streaming products, along with some of the successes CBC is finding on the subscription model front.”

Streaming News 2021 will also feature a panel on Building and Expanding Audiences and a roundtable discussion that will look at expanding streaming distribution and revenue by connecting easily to a range of OTT platforms while seamlessly integrating ads.
