That’s according to “The Sports Streaming Audience,” a Tubi study in partnership with Magid. The insights coincide with the recent launch of “Sports on Tubi,” and reveals that sports ranks as the fastest growing segment within the OTT ecosystem. The report notes there is a strong preference for ad-supported streaming for sports – more than half (56%) of the total sample prefer watching streaming sports with commercial breaks integrated into the event, if they can get it for free.

TECH TALK

This year’s Xandr Relevance Report found that while this is the golden age of premium video content for viewers, it is also the height of complexity for advertisers. Key findings include:
· Data-driven linear is gaining momentum in the US, with 3 in 4 advertisers believing it gives marketers the best of TV and digital advertising and over half planning to increase DDL spending in the next year.
· OTT and CTV remain a top strategic priority among advertisers with 4 out of 5 regions surveyed ranking it as a top priority among video types.
· There is work to be done to move people and technology to a converged future as a third of advertisers surveyed lack familiarity with the programmatic OTT buying process.
