The adoption of Smart TVs among US consumers has skyrocketed over the last few years, spurred onward by the pandemic and still maintaining that momentum, according to a new report from LG Ads Solutions.
The new number makes YouTube TV the most significant internet pay-TV provider and the fifth-largest TV distributor of any kind in the U.S., behind Comcast, Charter, DirecTV, and Dish Network.
In his new role, Rooke, former General Manager of Effectv, will oversee the day-to-day running of Comcast Cable’s Advertising Division, which includes FreeWheel, Effectv and AudienceXpress.
Upfront spending is flowing toward streaming services. In fact, according to eMarketer, upfront CTV ad spending in the United States will grow by 34.6% to US$6.41 billion this year.
