OVN Technology

A key goal of the Online Video Network is to enable AP members to quickly benefit from the national market for online video ads as that market is exploding. Fast movement is crucial to extending member brands online and helping them become players in the video advertising market as money shifts there.

With an existing technology infrastructure and proven online video ad sales force, Microsoft is enabling AP to launch the OVN faster than other options. With more than 100 advertising sales executives and a proven video ad sales strategy, MSN brings premium ad rates (CPMs) from national brand advertisers. This means more revenue for members in the Network.

The OVN also offers free RSS feeds of all its videos. Please contact your product specialist for information.

AP video also is available beyond the network. Our customers can become part of the Network, and get AP video via FTP. If you are interested in becoming an AP member, or want to learn more please contact your area's bureau chief to facilitate that discussion.
