Together with iSpot, we are giving advertisers independent verification and greater transparency into their cross-platform campaigns, which demonstrates the tremendous value of CTV.”
Gandler continued: "Ad sales remains an important growth driver for Fubo as we target profitability in 2025.

“Brands understand there are unique and valuable audiences consuming premium content on streaming properties, but need independent, reliable measurement to scale investments across linear and streaming with confidence,” said Dan Loewenberg, VP, media partnerships, iSpot.
