RTL Group Buys More Ad Tech with $33 Million Purchase of Yospace

Europe's largest broadcaster adds dynamic-ad-insertion outfit to bolster international programmatic ambitions

RTL has agreed to acquire Yospace in a transaction valued at $33 million, in a deal that will add to the broadcaster’s existing bench of ad-tech assets, which includes fellow video specialists SpotX, SmartClip and Clypd.

Yospace has developed a technology that allows for the removal of ads contained within television broadcasts, replacing them with more targeted insertions in subsequent content streaming sessions—technology commonly referred to as server-side dynamic ad insertion (DAI).

Yospace licenses this technology to broadcasters in Asia, North America and western Europe, helping them improve their online ad yield, particularly for video-on-demand services.
