In the last 48 hours, the advertising industry has seen a surge in AI-driven automation and data-rich marketing strategies, notably within the programmatic advertising space. The global market for programmatic advertising was valued at 833.16 billion dollars in 2024 and is forecast to exceed 4,397.68 billion by 2032, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate of 23.21 percent. The US market alone is projected to climb from 197.22 billion in 2024 to over 1,027.79 billion by 2032. This growth is driven by widespread mobile adoption and deeper integration of AI ad platforms, making real-time personalized campaigns more accessible and efficient for advertisers.

Major players are responding with product innovation and expanded partnerships. For example, Tubi, Fox Corporation’s streaming service, recently announced new interactive ad formats like shoppable second screen experiences and advanced self-serve capabilities at the IAB NewFronts. Tubi also expanded its partnerships with Amazon, Kochava, and Moloco, targeting young, multicultural audiences and boasting over 97 million monthly active users. Such moves reflect a broader industry focus on delivering contextually relevant advertising and leveraging data analytics to maximize reach.

Meanwhile, consumer viewing habits are shifting away from traditional linear TV toward connected TV and streaming platforms. Global linear TV ad spending is forecast to drop to 139.1 billion dollars by 2026, its lowest since 2005, while YouTube’s US ad sales have soared to 36 billion dollars, rivaling legacy broadcasters. These changes force advertisers to rethink campaign measurement and media buying strategies, emphasizing the importance of agile planning.

The ad tech ecosystem is also undergoing structural changes. The Trade Desk has redefined supply paths, leveraging its AI-driven Kokai platform to reward its own inventory routes while penalizing resellers, streamlining supply chains for buyers but reducing payouts for publishers and increasing dependence on its infrastructure. At the same time, growing legal scrutiny of Google, including ongoing antitrust action, is prompting smaller ad tech firms to challenge established gatekeepers.

Looking across regions, festive periods in India are driving a projected 20 to 30 percent surge in retail media spend, especially in electronics, beauty, and fashion, with brands increasingly favoring regional storytelling and shoppable ad formats. These shifts in consumer behavior and spending are echoed by leaders who are investing in branding, merchandising, and strategic partnerships to boost growth and resilience. Compared to previous reporting, the current environment is marked by faster technology adoption, increased market concentration among ad tech leaders, and heightened pressure on traditional broadcast media.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
