Who this is for
Content that earns across the network
The program is open across virtually every content niche. Here is what consistently performs well across ad, syndication, and CTV placements:
Sports coverage, highlights, and analysis
Live highlights, sports analysis, and rights-cleared sports content perform strongly across CTV, streaming, and news syndication partners.
News, opinion, and investigative video
News-format video reaches millions daily across MSN, Yahoo News, Google News, and partner news networks with revenue-sharing on every view.
Pop culture, celebrity, and entertainment
Entertainment content drives high CPMs on premium placements, thriving on both CTV and web distribution channels.
Documentaries, series, and deep-dives
Long-form video performs exceptionally on CTV and streaming where watch time is high. Archives of documentary content deliver steady long-tail revenue.
Wildlife, science, and educational content
Nature and science content builds deep, loyal audiences with high completion rates. That's a strong signal for advertiser placement on premium networks.
Finance, lifestyle, health, faith and beyond
The program is open across virtually every niche. Finance, Travel, Health, Education, Local News, Food, and Faith content all perform on the network.
