A seismic shift tore through the TV marketplace in Q1 2022. The buy and sell-side partnered with measurement providers to evaluate and, in some cases, implement alternative currency ahead of the Upfronts. Modern TV ad measurement certainly rose to the occasion. The industry started migrating away from legacy methods of program-proxy measurement and toward ad-first, cross-platform solutions.
