Reaching 75 million monthly uniques across 200 DMAs
Cheddar, the leading post cable networks company, and GSTV, a data-driven, national video network delivering targeted audiences at scale across tens of thousands of fuel retailers, announced that, as of September 10th, short form business and tech news stories will begin airing daily to 75 million monthly unique viewers at 18,000+ gas stations across the country. Each day, GSTV runs a new story from Cheddar with a business or tech angle.
“Brian Morrissey at Digiday asked me, ‘What’s next, Cheddar in gas stations?’ And the answer is, yes, Cheddar working with GSTV is what’s next,” said Jon Steinberg Founder and CEO of Cheddar. “75 million people frequent GSTV locations, putting top news updates front and center while they’re at the pump.”
GSTV reaches consumers in a data-rich environment, and can target audiences at scale on the consumer journey, where they’re spending +1.7X more following a fuel transaction. The ability to deliver premium content to this on-the-go audience makes a partnership between GSTV and Cheddar beneficial for brands and consumers alike.
“As we continually transform the new GSTV, a key priority is premium content partners to entertain consumers and support our retailer and brand partners,” said Sean McCaffrey, President and CEO of GSTV. “We’re thrilled 1 in 3 consumers can now pick up some Cheddar on their monthly travels!”
