Business First AM Strikes Nationwide OTT Syndication Deal with Syncbak

NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Business First AM airs Monday through Friday mornings in 86 markets. Those markets will continue airing the show and in markets where the show is not yet carried, a national version will be made available live- and on-demand using Syncbak's dynamic ad insertion technology called AdSync.

"OTT is a complex opportunity," said Angela Miles, creator and host of Business First AM. "Business First AM is on a mission to give everyday Americans an edge in investing, starting up businesses and paying down debt. The show has risen rapidly from it's launch in fall of 2015 with 17 TV markets to clearance in 86 markets in fall of 2018. Through our deal with Syncbak, we now clear 134 markets which allows me to enable the stations where we don't currently air to start building an audience via SBTV."

"Business First AM is exactly the type of show we built SBTV for," said Jack Perry, founder and CEO of Syncbak. "Now viewers can catch the show on all platforms, regardless of the market they're in. We're pretty certain carriage on SBTV will ultimately lead to traditional syndication deals in all 210 DMAs."

Business First AM can be viewed anytime, anywhere on any device at http://www.sbtv.com.
