CTV Publishers Embrace Transparency with IAS Total TV
IAS says its new Total TV product, launched earlier in 2026, brings linear‑style transparency and consistent measurement to CTV by aggregating and normalising show-, genre- and programme-level data. At U.S. launch IAS reported participation from major publishers including Disney, NBCUniversal, Paramount and Prime Video, which IAS views as a signal that sellers are leaning into transparency. IAS Chief Product Officer Srishti Gupta discusses how the company is using multimodal AI models and improved classification to turn media quality into a closed‑loop performance engine, citing client outcomes such as reduced brand‑suitability fails and lower CPMs. IAS also highlights scale metrics for its data and AI workflows as part of its capability to deliver faster, more granular insights for advertisers and publishers.
Viant Launches Enhanced Publisher Solutions for CTV
Viant Technology announced the launch of Viant Publisher Solutions, a centralized, no-cost tool set for publishers designed to increase transparency, signal fidelity and monetization across its CTV-focused, AI-powered programmatic platform. The package includes SupplyIQ (supply-quality reporting), a Direct Access supply-path optimization framework (Viant charges publishers no fees), Household ID integration for deterministic first-party identity syncing, and IRIS_ID for content-level mapping and targeting. Viant says these inputs influence bidding, spend allocation and campaign optimization and that 85% of CTV spend on its platform now transacts via Direct Access. Executives from Viant and publisher partners (Tubi, Molson Coors) are quoted highlighting improved collaboration, signal quality and measurable monetization outcomes. The release is dated 2026-06-11.
