Major U.S. MVPDs including Comcast Advertising, Cox, DIRECTV Advertising, DISH Media, and others have announced unified guidance on Multiscreen TV Advertising Terminology. The initiative aims to standardize industry terms, focusing on 'multiscreen TV,' 'streaming,' and 'traditional TV.'
According to new research from Advertiser Perceptions, only 20% of advertisers report consistent terminology usage by their partners. The new lexicon defines streaming as video content delivered via internet connection, traditional TV as content delivered via wired cable, telco, satellite, or over-the-air distribution, and multiscreen TV for multiple TV/streaming endpoints.
The guidance clarifies that 'linear TV' differs from 'traditional TV,' as linear viewing can apply to both traditional and streaming formats. The initiative is supported by major industry players and the Video Advertising Bureau (VAB), aiming to simplify the increasingly complex TV advertising landscape.
