Yahoo Makes Ads on MLB.tv a Bit More Like TV



Startup Auditude Allows Live Insertion of Spots in Online Ad Pods

Yahoo has a contract to sell ads on MLB.tv through the 2010 season; as of August, it started selling a lot more ads thanks to ad-serving technology from Auditude, which allows Yahoo to sell multiple ads within commercial breaks, just like TV.
