Jamloop Launches Verified Supply for CTV Transparency

Independent analysis by Jounce Media found that 98% of audited spend across Jamloop's supply partners was classified as premium direct. The offering applies across managed, co-managed, self-service, and white-label buying modes, with additional controls like allowlists, blocklists, and third-party IVT monitoring available.

IAB Tech Lab Defends ads.txt Against adagents.json Proposal

IAB Tech Lab's Senior Director of Programmatic, Hillary Slattery, published a rebuttal to a proposed 'adagents.json' standard, arguing that the existing ads.txt, sellers.json, and Supply Chain Object specifications already provide comprehensive supply path validation. She refutes claims that ads.txt lacks property identification, country-level authorization, and direct path marking, noting these are supported via OWNERDOMAIN, sub-domains, and DIRECT/RESELLER fields. Slattery warns that a new unverified standard could disrupt the ecosystem and emphasizes the importance of dual-verification for DSPs to block unauthorized sellers. She encourages industry collaboration through the Programmatic Supply Chain Working Group and highlights Jounce Media's research showing 98% of bid streams enable independent validation of directness.

• adagents.json has been proposed as a new standard to replace ads.txt, but IAB Tech Lab argues it is unnecessary and inaccurate.
• ads.txt supports property identification via the OWNERDOMAIN field and sub-domain structure for country-level authorization.
• The Supply Chain Object provides an audit trail of bid request paths, complementing ads.txt and sellers.json.

More Ads Don't Mean More Revenue — Frequency

Frequency's Head of Monetization, James Smith, argues on a State of Streaming podcast that increasing ad load (more ads per pod) often reduces revenue and viewer effectiveness. He cites rising FAST channel supply and low discovery driving fill-rate problems, and points to Jounce Media research showing fewer ads can raise conversion and CPMs. Frequency's in-scene ad product uses AI video introspection to place contextual ads inside content, and the company says its upstream position at channel origination and server-side ad insertion improves supply-path cleanliness. The episode also previews an 'ad balancer' that pairs pod reduction with in-scene units and real-time, geography-aware dynamic creative.

• James Smith leads monetization at Frequency.
• Frequency promotes an in-scene advertising product that uses AI video introspection to place contextual ad moments during content.
• Article cites Jounce Media research claiming fewer ads increase conversion rates and premium CPMs.
