MCTV is our legacy Connected Television/Over-the-Top Television (CTV/OTT) platform that will remain until all accounts are switched to Magnite Streaming. Magnite Streaming heralds a new way of working with CTV and OTT, complementing our portfolio of platforms including DV+, Demand Manager, and Springserve.
Today, streaming services are watched by more viewers than traditional TV formats. Findings from Magnite’s 2023 Global Streaming TV research show that 83% of TV viewers are watching streaming TV. Selling advertising space in streamed content is key to the success of streaming services that are offered to the public for free, or at low cost.
Our Magnite Help Center is here to help you navigate this new platform, while also providing you with documentation to assist you with the existing MCTV platform prior to your Magnite Streaming migration.
