No Fan Left Behind.

Football fans don't watch on one screen. They watch everywhere. Here's what you unlock when you run both.

Incremental Reach
Streaming reaches cord-cutters cable misses. Cable reaches loyal viewers who don't stream. Together, you cover the full audience — no gaps.
Stronger Brand Recall
Message reinforcement across screens amplifies recall on both. A viewer who sees your ad on cable and streaming remembers you better than either alone.
Precision Frequency Control
Buying across both lets you manage how often each viewer sees your message — not over-exposed on cable, not under-exposed on streaming.
One Partner. One Buy.
No juggling multiple vendors. Optimum Media handles both through a single proposal, single contract, single point of contact.
