Why Broadcasters, Newspapers, and Radio Stations Need a Modern Ad Operations Partner

Legacy media companies—those with rich histories in print, radio, and broadcast television—have built decades of trust, community influence, and advertiser loyalty. But the shift to digital advertising has fundamentally changed how that influence is monetized.

Advertisers want more: more targeting, more accountability, more channels, and more measurable results.

And while media organizations still have the content and the audience, many struggle to deliver digital campaigns at scale with limited internal resources and outdated workflows.

That’s where iMedia Audiences steps in.

Why Legacy Media Needs Support

For many traditional media companies, the biggest challenge isn’t sales—it’s digital execution.

  • TV stations now sell OTT and pre-roll, but lack CTV trafficking expertise.
  • Newspapers offer newsletters and native ads but can’t keep up with reporting or tagging.
  • Radio groups have strong local advertiser relationships but no bandwidth to manage billing or deliver proof of performance.

The result? Missed revenue, under-delivered campaigns, and overwhelmed teams.
