A few weeks ago, major college conferences faced a monumental decision that absolutely changed the playing field. One conference broke away, opting for a $23 million Apple streaming TV deal per team in the conference. However, other teams in the conference, they broke away for a $70 million per team linear television deal. So why the rush? It’s more than just money. It’s about exposure for the university and the athletes. So you might be wondering, what does this have to do with direct to consumer advertising and D R T V advertising? Well, it’s all about exposure because direct to consumer advertising relies on immediate sales across all channels. The best way to do this is linear television because you get a much broader audience compared to a limited streaming TV audience.

So picture this, a message reaches 70,000 people in a stadium, even at just 10%. That’s a substantial impact Now factor in the ripple effect and how that affects all other channels of distribution and all other channels of commerce, something that streaming television just cannot do.
