PRISM MarketView Launches Emerging AdTech and Media Index

Leading global companies work to strike balance between digital and traditional advertising

Industry experts point to 2H 2024 for AdTech and Media IPO market to strengthen

NEW YORK, NY, December 12, 2023 - PRISM MarketView, a leading provider of unbiased market insight and company news, today announces the launch of its PRISM Emerging AdTech and Media Index. With a finger on the pulse of the digital media revolution, the PRISM index is tracking emerging companies making a mark on the adtech and media industries.

As the internet, social media, and advanced data analytics have revolutionized marketing, brands of all sizes are working to strike a balance between investing in digital media and maintaining a position in traditional advertising.

The number of deals for global tech, media and marketing companies has increased by 2% year-over-year, significantly lower than levels reached in 2021, according to Canaccord Genuity. Industry experts have pointed to the second half of 2024 when the AdTech and Media IPO market is expected to open up again.

PRISM MarketView reviewed a handful of companies transforming the AdTech and Media landscape in 2023.

Altice USA, Inc. Altice and its subsidiaries provide broadband communications, video and mobile services in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. In Q3 2023, the company missed revenue targets, reporting total revenue of $2.32 billion, down -3.2% year-over-year, and free cash flow of $121 million. In spite of a challenging macroeconomic environment, Altice has been accelerating the pace of network rollouts with an improvement in broadband subscribers, mobile net additions and fiber customer growth.

fuboTV, Inc. fuboTV Inc. operates a live TV streaming platform for live sports, news, and entertainment content in the United States and internationally. Its fuboTV platform allows customers to access content through streaming devices, as well as on SmartTVs, computers, mobile phones, and tablets. The company’s shares rose after it reported better than expected revenue in early November. Investors rewarded fuboTV for strong quarterly sales of $313 million and US sales which surged 43% year-over-year. The company’s 2023 is expected to reach $1.32 billion, up from the $1.27 billion previously guided.

Gray Television, Inc. Gray Television is an American media company that owns, broadcasts, and operates television channels. It expanded its studio portfolio this month with the opening of a 135-acre facility in Georgia. Also in November, Grey Television reported strong revenues and lower expenses for the third quarter 2023, including total revenue of $803 million.

Specificity, Inc. Specificity is a digital marketing agency providing services including location and search, and criteria targeting services; and device ID extraction and programmatic display services. The company’s mission is to be an industry disruptor and to that end, in October, it acquired AImplify, a cutting-edge AI-powered solution. Specificity has developed tools to enable successful marketing campaigns through precision targeting.

Venezuelan Opposition Leader Steps Up Pressure, but Maduro Holds On

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,” said Mr. Maduro and senior leaders in his government had been prepared to fly to Cuba on Tuesday morning, with “an airplane on the tarmac,” but that Russia, a powerful ally of Mr. Maduro’s, had “indicated he should stay.” Mr. Pompeo offered no evidence.

John R. Bolton, the White House national security adviser, said top officials in Mr. Maduro’s government had committed to transitioning power to Mr. Guaidó. He identified them as Vladimir Padrino López, the defense minister, Maikel Moreno, the head of the Supreme Court, and Rafael Hernández Dala, the commander of Mr. Maduro’s presidential guard.

“All agreed Maduro had to go,” Mr. Bolton said. But Mr. Padrino and Mr. Moreno both came out publicly in defense of Mr. Maduro on Tuesday.

Since January, Mr. Guaidó has run what amounts to a parallel government, counting on support from more than 50 countries, including the United States, even as Mr. Maduro remains the country’s leader. Despite Mr. Maduro’s low popularity, however, the opposition’s momentum has been sapped as Mr. Guaidó has failed to depose the president or solve the shortages of food, medicine, water and power that plague the country’s 30 million people.

But if there had been any likelihood that top military brass would turn sides Tuesday, it seemed quashed by early afternoon when Mr. Padrino López, the defense minister, spoke on television, calling the act “an attempt at a coup, without a doubt, at a mediocre level.”

The defense minister also came flanked by soldiers, but they pledged loyalty to Mr. Maduro and vowed to hunt down those responsible.

Altice USA buys digital news network Cheddar for $200M

Cable television provider Altice USA has confirmed plans to pay $200 million for the millennial-focused, digitally-native news network Cheddar in all-cash, or all-cheddar, rather, deal. The price tag comes at a 25 percent premium to the media startup’s $160 million Series D valuation.

Jon Steinberg, the co-founder and chief executive officer of Cheddar and former president and chief operating officer of BuzzFeed, will become president of Altice News. Altice, an existing Cheddar investor, plans to leverage Cheddar’s broadcasts and CheddarU, a growing network of 1,600 screens on 600 college campuses, to expand its portfolio of news businesses.

“Our goal is to make Altice News a leader in local, business, national and international news everywhere,” Steinberg said in a statement. “The Altice team and Altice Way are as entrepreneurial as it gets with amazing markets, world-class local and international news, an amazing broadband network, and a soon to launch mobile offering.”

Cheddar declined to provide further comment.

Altice News, a new unit born out of the Cheddar acquisition, will include Cheddar, News 12 Networks and international and current affairs news network i24NEWS.

Founded in 2016, the New York-headquartered business operates its flagship business newscast on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange, as well as three other programs at its studio in New York’s Flatiron Building, WeWork Vine in Hollywood and the White House.

The company, dubbed the ‘CNBC of the internet,’ focuses on business news and the top headlines with 19 hours of programming per day. In a short time, the “fast-paced, young, non-partisan general and headline news network” has inked key partnerships to become widely available across platforms. Currently, its programs are viewable in 40 million homes on Sling TV, DirecTV NOW, Hulu, YouTube TV, Sony PlayStation Vue, Snapchat, fuboTV, Philo, Amazon, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook and 60 percent of smart TVs in the U.S. Cheddar attracts 400 million video views per month.

Cheddar had raised a total of $54.5 million in equity funding across four financings. Its investors include Lightspeed Venture Partners, Raine Ventures, Goldman Sachs, Liberty Global, Comcast Ventures, AT&T, Amazon, Antenna Group, Ribbit Capital, The New York Stock Exchange, Altice USA, 7 Global Capital, and Dentsu Ventures. Here’s a closer look at Cheddar’s funding history, per PitchBook:

February 2016 Series A: $3 million at a $15 million valuation

September 2016 Series B: $10 million | $40 million

May 2017 Series C: $19 million | $84 million

March 2018 Series D: $22.5 million | $160 million

The transaction is expected to close in the next two months.

“Cheddar has demonstrated an innovative approach to live news while building an engaged audience, solid followership and a strong brand,” Altice CEO Dexter Goei said in a statement. “As one of Cheddar’s early investors, we have enjoyed our partnership with Jon and admire the entrepreneurial spirit, energy and smart disruptive mentality that he brings to the news business.”

The deal represents a rare outcome for a digital media startup, a sector plagued by sudden shutdowns and slipping revenue figures. Mic, a similarly millennial-focused news outlet, laid off most of its staff last year before being acquired by Bustle for peanuts. The business was well-funded by venture capitalists, raising a total of $60 million before falling victim to Facebook’s 2017 algorithm change.

There’s more where that came from. Vice earlier this year confirmed plans to cut 250 jobs, BuzzFeed is laying off 15 percent of its staff and Verizon Media Group (TechCrunch’s parent company) laid off 10 percent of its workforce in January. Just this week Brit&Co, a digital media brand catering to young women, began laying off a majority of its staff after an M&A deal failed to come together at the last moment, according to Recode.

New Post has been published on https://toldnews.com/world/united-states-of-america/kirstjen-nielsen-facebook-n-f-l-draft-your-wednesday-evening-briefing/

Kirstjen Nielsen, Facebook, N.F.L. Draft: Your Wednesday Evening Briefing

(Want to get this briefing by email? Here’s the sign-up.)

Good evening. Here’s the latest.

1. Don’t tell the president.

That was the message Kirstjen Nielsen received when, as homeland security secretary, she became increasingly worried about Russian interference in the 2020 election. But Ms. Nielsen, pictured above last summer, couldn’t discuss it at high-level White House meetings.

Mick Mulvaney, the president’s chief of staff, said in a meeting this year that President Trump still equated any public discussion of Russian influence with questions about the legitimacy of his victory, and it was best to keep the information “below his level.”

Mr. Mulvaney said through a spokesman, “I don’t recall anything along those lines happening in any meeting.”

2. In other Washington news:

House Democrats are wrestling with duty and politics in the wake of the report from the special counsel Robert Mueller. Prominent left-leaning members are pressing for action.

“I don’t ever want to look back,” said Representative Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan, “to say that we didn’t do everything in our power to stop this lawless president from jeopardizing our democracy.” But Speaker Nancy Pelosi, above center, has urged caution.

On Wednesday, President Trump told reporters that he vowed to resist all subpoenas seeking to investigate further.

Our reporters are still unpacking the report. In an overlooked section, Mr. Trump asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions to have the Justice Department prosecute Hillary Clinton. What happens next? Members from our Washington bureau are discussing the report in a Times Talk event at 7 p.m. ET. Watch here.

_____

3. Facebook said it expects to be fined up to $5 billion for violating an agreement with the Federal Trade Commission to better protect its users’ privacy, a record penalty for a technology company.

The social network disclosed the amount in its quarterly financial results. Facebook and the F.T.C. have been in negotiations over a financial penalty for claims that the company violated a 2011 privacy consent decree with the agency.

Separately, Boeing said its revenue for the first quarter slumped 2 percent after the 737 Max was grounded following two deadly crashes. Increased spending, including pilot training and software updates for the Max jet, and fewer deliveries for the troubled model cost Boeing more than $1 billion.

4. For years, children younger than 12 have crossed the southern border without parents or guardians. Those numbers are now soaring.

More than 8,900 unaccompanied children were apprehended in March, nearly twice the number seen in October.

Early Tuesday, federal authorities found a 3-year-old boy wandering alone at the border in Texas. The boy watched “Paw Patrol” at a Border Patrol office, above. He had his name and phone numbers written onto his shoes. And it’s not an anomaly. Our reporters explored why more children are crossing the border alone.

_____

5. The American ambassador warned of “ongoing terrorist plots” following the deadly bombings in Sri Lanka.

Officials said that the nine suicide bombers were all Sri Lankans, from mostly educated, middle-class backgrounds, and that other people involved remained at large. The authorities are investigating whether the Islamic State, which on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the blasts, had provided more than symbolic support. The latest death toll is 359.

For older residents of Colombo, Sri Lanka’s capital, the security measures following the bombings are a flashback to the country’s dark days of civil war, and for a younger generation, they are entirely disorienting. And the country’s Muslims face an angry backlash.

6. China mastered its surveillance systems. And now it’s sharing.

Ecuador is one of 18 countries using Chinese-made monitoring systems that are increasingly sophisticated and cheap. Police officers there spend their days poring over computer screens, watching footage from 4,300 cameras across Ecuador and scanning the streets for drug deals, muggings and murders.

A Times investigation found that this footage also goes to Ecuador’s feared domestic intelligence agency, which under a previous president was known for intimidating and attacking political opponents. Above, a centralized surveillance room in Quito, Ecuador.

_____

7. A new study has brought scientists a step closer to restoring speech.

Scientists have developed a prosthetic voice system that can translate the words in your brain into mostly understandable speech. No muscle movement is needed. Above, an electrode array that recorded brain activity.

The new system, described in the journal Nature, decodes the brain’s motor commands guiding vocal movement during speech — the tap of the tongue, the narrowing of the lips — and generates sentences that approximate a speaker’s natural cadence.

_____

8. Penn Station is the busiest transit hub in the Western Hemisphere. Our architecture critic takes it to task.

It wasn’t always “humiliating and bewildering.” Demolished more than half a century ago, the former Pennsylvania Station by McKim, Mead & White, above in 1909, was the “the architectural embodiment of New York’s vaulted ambition and open arms,” Michael Kimmelman writes. Its replacement during the mid-1960s became a “subterranean rat’s maze.”

He looks back at the grandeur of the old station, and what the city lost in its wake.

Separately, New York is trying to fix the gender imbalance in the city’s art and monuments. First up for recognition: Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to Congress.

_____

9. Nothing but net — from 37 feet.

The Portland Trail Blazers eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night with a buzzer-beating, half-court 3-pointer from Damian Lillard. The Blazers head to the Western Conference semifinals, where they will face the Denver Nuggets or the San Antonio Spurs.

We’re also looking ahead to Thursday’s N.F.L. draft. Will Kyler Murray, a do-everything star, be the No. 1 pick? He leads a 2019 rookie class that is long on talent.

And on the baseball diamond, C. C. Sabathia is nearing his 3,000th strikeout. Our baseball columnist writes about the pitcher’s triumph of reinvention.

10. Finally, where have all the rom-coms gone?

It’s a question Wesley Morris, our critic at large, explores this week in the Times Magazine. Romantic comedies were corny and retrograde, so why does he miss them so much? It might be the most featherweight of genres, but it also might be among the most important.

“This was work determined, across the whole history of cinema, to find something funny about loneliness, curiosity, attraction, intimacy, conflict and rapprochement,” he writes. “This is moviemaking that explores a basic human wonder about how to connect with a person who’s not you.”

And who knows, maybe you’ll meet your Harry or Sally tonight.

Have a lovely evening.

Sotheby's Public sale Home Bought for $3.7 Billion to Patrick Drahi

http://tinyurl.com/y2w95web Artwork public sale home Sotheby’s might be taken personal by billionaire Patrick Drahi-owned firm BidFair USA at a excessive premium, the corporate introduced Monday. Drahi, a long-time media titan and avid artwork collector, will take Sotheby’s personal after 31 years available on the market as a public firm at a $3.7 billion price ticket. “Sotheby’s is without doubt one of the most elegant and aspirational manufacturers on the earth,” Drahi stated in an announcement. “As a longtime shopper and lifelong admirer of the corporate, I’m buying Sotheby’s along with my household.” In accordance with an announcement from the corporate, shareholders will obtain $57 in money per share of frequent inventory from the deal—a 61% premium on Sotheby’s shut on Friday. However for some analysts, that 61% premium is inexplicably excessive given the area of interest market Sotheby’s operates in. “It’s a giant premium,” Alex Maroccia, an fairness analysis analyst at Berenberg Capital Markets, stated. “This premium implies practically all-time highs for the inventory. It’s rather a lot greater than the place we had it valued as a result of it’s not a really clear enterprise. The public sale market itself is fairly dangerous as a result of it’s cyclical and there are these public sale ensures that Sotheby’s offers out that, when traders hear about them, in the event that they take a loss, it nearly comes out of the blue. So the dearth of transparency makes the inventory commerce at considerably of a reduction. It’s a very robust enterprise to worth in that regard, plus, I don’t understand how they received $57 per share.” Actually, Maroccia, who has been following the corporate, claims Drahi might have seen the deal as a chance to get in on an trade he’s effectively acquainted with from the shopper aspect. And, based on Maroccia, Sotheby’s current makes an attempt to make their operations leaner might have sweetened up the deal. “Perhaps [Drahi] thought that he would be capable of get it at a reduction, perhaps [he] noticed an upswing within the operations—as a result of they’ve been taking a a lot leaner strategy lately, attempting to cut back the danger from the public sale ensures, ensuring they’re not giving out ridiculous loans on the financing aspect,” Maroccia stated. Nonetheless, the deal, which was authorised by Sotheby’s board of administrators and shareholders, comes at a time when the corporate’s inventory was down 40% over the previous 12 months. Besides, the corporate’s earnings over the previous 12 months have been weaker, reporting a lack of $7.1 million in its 1st quarter earnings report this 12 months—a 9% improve from the identical interval final 12 months. “On the operational aspect, they haven’t actually outlined a method now that would get them there when it comes to the place we see their progress,” Maroccia stated. “The enterprise has been transferring extra on-line just lately, so the margins have been benefiting from that. Actually, after that, I don’t actually see what’s going to bridge the hole right here as a result of they haven’t performed a transformative acquisition lately—they’ve type of centered their acquisition efforts downmarket to extend their complete addressable market, however that also doesn’t make up this $18 distinction.” However based on the New York-based firm’s executives, Sotheby’s is optimistic about being personal as soon as extra. “[Drahi] has a long-term view and shares our model imaginative and prescient for nice shopper service and using innovation to boost the worth of the corporate for shoppers and staff,” Sotheby’s CEO Tad Smith stated in a press launch. “This acquisition will present Sotheby’s with the chance to speed up the profitable program of progress initiatives of the previous a number of years in a extra versatile personal atmosphere. It positions us very effectively for our future and I strongly consider that the corporate might be in glorious palms for many years to return with Patrick as our proprietor.” Sotheby’s, which was based in 1744, noticed shares pop 58% in intraday buying and selling on the information. The deal represents considerably of a departure from Drahi’s expenditures lately. Drahi, who based telecom firm Altice in 2001, has since acquired cable and web supplier Cablevision in 2016 for some $17.7 billion. And whereas Sotheby’s is crossing again over to personal territory, competitor Christie’s (which is personal) doesn’t look like making any adjustments. “It was ripe for Sotheby’s to go personal,” Philip Hoffman, chief govt officer of the Positive Artwork Group and a former Christie’s govt, informed Bloomberg on Monday. “Christie’s has extra benefits being run privately and never having public quarterly reporting that places stress on their capability to do offers.” Extra must-read tales from Fortune: —A pink flag to traders: The inventory market could also be hitting the “triple top” —The Renault deal is dead, however Fiat Chrysler nonetheless wants a companion —Many economists assume the next recession might be earlier than the 2020 election —The S&P 500 has performed far worse underneath Trump than Obama —Take heed to our new audio briefing, Fortune 500 Daily Don’t miss the day by day Term Sheet, Fortune‘s e-newsletter on offers and dealmakers.
