1:45 PM | PANEL: FAST, OTT, CTV & AVOD

Over-the-top TV/video viewing is already a mainstream media activity in a majority of US households, with plenty of growth yet to come. While subscription VOD services like Netflix have driven much of the action, it’s clear that ad-supported OTT offerings from incumbent TV networks, digitally native content brands, and ad-embracing services like Hulu are poised to attract huge audiences in their own right – and with dynamic IP targeting that gives classic linear TV advertising a run for its money.
