SuperBowl: TV Ad $ vs Streaming

Bottom line here is that there is still a LOT more money in TV advertising which I believe should continue to make its way over to streaming as the years roll on. I plan on holding both Roku and TTD as this plays out.

Fox’s streaming only Ads were priced from $300K-400K for a 30 second spot.
Fox’s TV Ads were sold for up to $5.6 million!
The streaming ads have only 7.1% the value of a typical TV commercial. Wow. How quickly will this money start to pour over to streaming? That’s the question.

While this is probably behind a paywall for everyone, I dont have a WSJ sub and was able to access the full article when I clicked the link through Twitter. I’ll provide both and see if it lets you read it.

Here is Gavin Baker’s tweet.

And btw, I’ll be streaming the game through the Fox App on my Roku Ultra, hoping to get a good 4K stream and see how this looks on my Samsung QLED TV. Happy Super Bowl viewing everyone!
