FreeWheel and OrkaTV partner to enhance FAST channel advertising for marketers

FreeWheel and OrkaTV today announced a new partnership to provide marketers with enhanced access to and targeting capabilities within the growing free-ad supported streaming television (FAST) sector.

Through this collaboration, advertisers utilizing the FreeWheel platform will gain access to over 3,500 FAST channels available via OrkaTV's streaming TV marketplace, significantly expanding their reach and diversifying their FAST ad inventory options. This increased access is expected to drive up demand for FAST ad inventory as marketers seek to connect with their target audiences across a broader spectrum of FAST channels.
