CoxReps Statement on Impressions-based Currency for Local Broadcast TV


NEW YORK, July 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ann Hailer, Chief Operating Officer, CoxReps, released the following statement regarding the adoption of impressions-based selling and buying for local broadcast television:

“CoxReps fully supports the industry adoption of an impressions-based currency to evaluate local TV program viewing,” said Ann Hailer, Chief Operating Officer, CoxReps. “This is the best way to simplify a comparative analysis across multiple mediums and highlight the relevancy that local TV audiences have in the total video consumption ecosystem. As research improves to better understand viewership, impression buying ensures attribution of all audiences, allowing agencies and advertisers to optimize targeting those audiences in a more granular way, and to help keep local TV as an integral part of advertisers’ total media mix.”
