Big news from the other side of the pond! RTL Deutschland announced the first addressable ad through a broadcast signal.
How is this possible? The content (TV show, etc.) is delivered via a broadcast signal and the ads are delivered dynamically through the internet. This is currently possible only with TV sets that are connected to the internet.
Why is this a big deal? Combining internet-like delivery/efficiency of advertising with the mass reach of broadcast television would be appealing to advertisers and allow broadcasters to charge higher rates.
