WHAT IS CTV?

CTV is any television set or device that can access the internet and stream digital content, providing viewers with on-demand video and interactive experiences. CTVs are equipped with built-in internet connectivity or can be connected to the internet via external devices like streaming sticks, set-top boxes, or gaming consoles.

This allows user to access streaming platforms, apps, and online content directly on their television screens, offering a more personalised and flexible entertainment experience compared to traditional broadcast television.
