Gracenote 和 Amagi 联手为内容出版商简化 FAST 上市流程

内容元数据充实和 FAST 播放功能领域的领先企业之间达成的新协议加快了内容货币化的步伐

NEW YORK – September 26, 2024 – Nielsen’s Gracenote, the leading global entertainment metadata provider, is teaming with Amagi, a global leader in cloud-based SaaS technology for broadcast and Connected TV (CTV), to help content owners capitalize on consumer appetite for free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) services. This collaboration enables Amagi to serve as a one-stop shop for customers, simplifying the process of getting programming onto major FAST platforms and in front of entertainment-hungry viewers worldwide.

Content partners can now access select Gracenote products through Amagi’s channel creation solution, providing a one-stop platform for speedier ingestion of programs and schedules into the Gracenote ecosystem. This integration streamlines FAST go-to-market, allowing for more efficient content management and delivery. It also ensures that publishers’ content metadata is normalized and enriched at the earliest stages of the FAST channel creation process and then quickly passed to Gracenote’s extensive global distribution network. Beyond benefiting from a streamlined process, Amagi customers will also enjoy greater program discoverability on FAST platforms and increased advertising monetization. 

"Gracenote 首席营收官 Tim Cutting 表示："FAST 代表了流媒体的下一个篇章，而内容元数据是推动这一演变的关键参与动力。"我们与Amagi的合作全面帮助内容出版商加速FAST的市场推广，使他们能够抓住机遇，推动货币化。

“Our agreement with Gracenote aligns perfectly with our mission to simplify and accelerate content monetization in the rapidly evolving CTV ecosystem,” said KA Srinivasan, Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Amagi. “By integrating Gracenote’s industry-leading metadata enrichment and normalization services into our cloud-based playout and content delivery workflow, we’re enabling content owners to bring their programming to audiences more efficiently than ever before — reducing time to market and enhancing content discoverability across major FAST platforms. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in streamlining the FAST channel creation and distribution process.” 

Gracenote 和 Amagi 在各自的流媒体价值链领域都处于领先地位，它们之间的这一新安排为行业和消费者带来了双赢。通过促进更高效的市场推广，两家公司共同加快了内容分发和货币化进程，吸引了更多的节目制作人，并提高了领先流媒体平台上内容的可发现性。这最终会使观众受益，因为他们越来越多地转向免费、广告支持的服务，以满足他们对高质量内容的需求。
