Doing the same for free&#8230; Enter Free Ad-supported TV (FAST) channels, where you can watch compelling programming in a TV-like playlist in exchange for ads, but with easier access, choice and value to the consumer. With high adoption rates across American and European markets, it is gathering momentum as a new way to drive continuous audience engagement and high-value ad revenues.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>The ROI<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>According to a recent Deloitte report on digital media trends, 47% of Americans now watch free ad-supported streaming TV services. Estimates cited in TV[R]EV\u2019s research take OTT ad spend in 2025 to about US$25 billion, with FASTs being central to this growth. Big players like NBCUniversal, ViacomCBS, Amazon etc, all want a piece of the action.<\/p>\n<p>The success of FASTs can be attributed to a number of factors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Free<\/li>\n<li>Large content libraries<\/li>\n<li>User experience akin to a traditional TV<\/li>\n<li>Device agnostic and pre-installed on many smart TV platforms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And most importantly, they carry more relevant yet lower ad-loads than TV.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/streamhub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screenshot-2022-06-10-at-5.51.22-PM-1024x605.png\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33882 alignnone size-large\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streamhub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screenshot-2022-06-10-at-5.51.22-PM-1024x605.png 1024w, https:\/\/streamhub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screenshot-2022-06-10-at-5.51.22-PM-980x579.png 980w, https:\/\/streamhub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screenshot-2022-06-10-at-5.51.22-PM-480x283.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The graph above shows the number of ad impressions through FAST channels on Wurl reaching 12 times since launching in 2020.

Such a return is more than enough reason for the excitement in the market to counter the decreasing revenues in linear TV.<\/p>\n<p>A key differentiator, moreover, with the FAST linear viewing experience is its capability to support a wide range of audience and advertiser verticals, as shown in the following data compiled by Pluto and Tubi.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/streamhub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screenshot-2022-06-10-at-5.53.54-PM-1024x560.png\" width=\"1024\" height=\"560\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33884 alignnone size-large\" srcset=\"https:\/\/streamhub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screenshot-2022-06-10-at-5.53.54-PM-1024x560.png 1024w, https:\/\/streamhub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screenshot-2022-06-10-at-5.53.54-PM-980x536.png 980w, https:\/\/streamhub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Screenshot-2022-06-10-at-5.53.54-PM-480x263.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h1><strong>What Next?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>FAST is still in its early days, with Pluto TV, the most well-known FAST channel provider having launched in 2014. What isn\u2019t new are the typical issues that OTT providers have around measurement, user management and targeted advertising &#8211; in other words, the data ecosystem and its management.<\/p>\n<p>At present, much of this data comes from disparate platforms and ad servers rather than neutral 3rd parties leading to issues of transparency and incomplete datasets, be it for audience analysis or targeting and post-campaign reporting.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore an effective data strategy that links up all the different sources to unify and validate the reporting will be key. Streamhub is working with multi-service media companies including FAST channels to develop such linked measurement and reporting data platforms that can work across multiple markets.<\/p>\n<p>As such, Asian markets can look to learn from early adopters in the West to build smarter collaborative models from the start, and enter the FAST lane.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more on the latest in OTT\/CTV and data developments, check out our blog (https:\/\/streamhub.co.uk\/news\/) or email bizdev@streamhub.co.uk.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.13.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.13.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_team_member name=&#8221;Anurag Gangras&#8221; position=&#8221;QA and Support Analyst&#8221; image_url=&#8221;https:\/\/streamhub.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/1580136229095.jpg&#8221; linkedin_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/anurag-gangras\/&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.13.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Anurag is an ex<span>erienced QA tester and marketing Analyst, with a passion for all things video.
