Magnite Powers Scripps Sports Ads; PubMatic Bets AI
Scripps Sports Network (SSN), which launched March 24 as a free ad-supported FAST channel for women's sports, routes its streaming ad inventory through Magnite (Nasdaq: MGNI). Magnite's Live Scheduler, part of its SpringServe ad server, automates deal setup and delivery for live events by standardizing metadata (league, timing, broadcaster, expected audience) and adjusting ad delivery by expected audience size. Magnite has been Scripps' primary ad-technology partner since 2021 with access to 100% of its streaming ad inventory. The article contrasts two sell-side strategies: Magnite's approach of improving existing ad workflows with specialized infrastructure versus PubMatic's AgenticOS (launched January 2026), which enables AI agents to connect agencies directly to publishers (250+ deals in four months). The piece frames the split as a structural industry bet over whether specialized infrastructure or agent-driven direct connections will dominate live-sports streaming ad buying.
