NEW YORK, April 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, ProVantageX (PVX) announced that it has partnered with FreeWheel, A Comcast Company, to integrate their local TV automation and optimization software into FreeWheel's Strata ad management platform.
This integration allows users of Strata, a leader in delivering converged video solutions and unique partnership capabilities to over 1,100 agencies, to receive output from PVX. PVX is a full, end-to-end platform for buyers and sellers of local television that automates ratings estimating, schedule optimization, activation and stewardship.
