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.
Viant Brings Ad Fontes News-Bias Targeting to CTV
Demand-side platform Viant has integrated Ad Fontes Media’s reliability-and-political-bias scoring into its CTV buying platform, allowing advertisers to target news inventory at the individual show level based on content-level reliability and bias signals. The integration is live in Viant’s platform and — according to the companies — is the first product of its kind on connected TV. The product enables buyers to set quality thresholds and bid on programming by show rather than relying on broader app- or domain-level signals. Vanessa Otero, founder and CEO of Ad Fontes Media, framed the move as part of a longer effort to increase advertiser investment in news environments.
