Genius Sports launches real-time moment targeting for brands
Barb, the UK TV measurement body, will take over the running of CFlight, a cross-platform solution for tracking reach and frequency across linear TV and VOD, from January 2024. CFlight was created by NBCUniversal, with the UK version jointly developed by Sky, ITV and Channel 4 in 2021. The move aligns Barb’s audience measurement strengths with CFlight’s cross-screen capabilities as streaming participation grows. Under Barb’s management, the remit has expanded, reflecting updated definitions of fit-for-TV content and potential new streaming members. In campaign reporting, frequency distribution will now show ranges (e.g., 1–2, 3–5, 6–9, 10+). CFlight is slated to launch 13 new traded audiences in Q4 2023, offering buyers more segmentation beyond current adult audiences. Netflix and Disney have signed up to be measured by Barb, with YouTube and TikTok data available at macro levels, and monthly joint industry meetings continuing to guide development.
Genius Sports Adds AI Ads to Live NBA Broadcasts
Genius Sports is partnering with FanDuel Sports Network to embed its AI-driven Intelligent Content Platform into live NBA and WNBA game broadcasts across FanDuel’s 15 regional sports networks. The technology analyzes live game action to generate sponsorable on-screen graphics — for example, shot probability metrics and player heat maps — that brands can own as in-game sponsorships rather than only relying on traditional 30-second commercials. The initiative builds on experiments Genius ran in stat-heavy alternate broadcasts for TNT Sports and aims to create new advertising inventory across more than 300 NBA and WNBA games. The companies say production teams retain final control over on-screen elements and highlighted a data-rights complexity: while Sportradar is the NBA’s official data partner, Genius accessed a real-time feed via FanDuel’s existing license.
