AMC Global Media announced a collaboration with Magnite to enable programmatic buying of its unified linear and streaming TV inventory. This integration simplifies access for advertisers, allowing them to purchase AMC's content across networks and streaming platforms via a single platform using Magnite's ClearLine and Live Scheduler solutions.

Key Points

  • AMC Global Media is among the first to offer linear TV inventory programmatically combined with streaming, streamlining workflows for advertisers.
  • Magnite's technology allows advertisers to access AMC's content across linear networks, FAST channels, and AMC+ streaming service in a single interface.
  • This collaboration is expected to improve operational efficiency and drive measurable advertising outcomes across cross-platform video environments.

NEW YORK, April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magnite (NASDAQ: MGNI), the largest independent sell-side advertising company, today announced a collaboration with AMC Global Media to extend the company’s unified linear and streaming offering to buyers programmatically. Enabled by ClearLine, Magnite’s activation and curation solution, advertisers will be able to buy AMC’s TV content through a single access point.

Magnite’s expanded collaboration with AMC Global Media gives buyers a clearer path to reach millions of engaged viewers across the company’s linear networks, FAST channels and AMC+ flagship streaming service. The company, which earlier this year launched TNA Wrestling’s TNA iMPACT! as a weekly live event on AMC, is also leveraging Magnite’s Live Scheduler solution to optimize its live linear addressable inventory. Live Scheduler provides a standardized framework to reduce fragmentation in live streaming and helps buyers and media owners plan, execute and track outcomes more effectively across live TV environments.

“AMC Global Media is among the first programming companies to offer its linear inventory programmatically, removing the need for buyers to manage separate workflows for linear and streaming while preserving the unique controls required for each environment,” said Catherine Dale, Vice President, Revenue, SpringServe at Magnite. “This comes in line with the market trend and buy side mandate to consolidate and simplify access across inventory sources. As the 2026-27 upfront begins, we are partnering to offer our clients unified access to this popular and critically acclaimed content with greater operational efficiency, driving real impact for both media owners and advertisers.”

“Magnite has been an important partner for many years, and we are pleased to make our premium storytelling available to its customers in a way that buyers are increasingly looking for in today’s competitive and outcomes-driven environment,” said Evan Adlman, Executive Vice President of Commercial Sales and Revenue Operations for AMC Global Media. “A consolidated programmatic approach across both linear and streaming supports more streamlined, measurable media executions and simpler access to our content and underscores the value and impact of buying cross-platform.”

"The ability to access linear TV placements alongside streaming through Magnite has been a game changer for how we strategically plan and execute video activations,” said Sarah Poythress, Campaign Lead at The Basement. “The simplicity of combining these line items in one place has provided seamless scalability, and allows us to keep our focus where it matters most: execution and outcomes. Reducing the time spent managing tactical complexity gives us more time to focus on driving performance.”
