- OTT (Over the Top): Digitally delivered TV content accessed via desktops, mobile devices, streaming devices, and smart TVs.
- CTV (Connected TV): Physical devices like smart TVs or gaming consoles that enable OTT viewing (and typically exclude mobile devices and desktops, depending on terminology).

What Is Streaming Audio Advertising?
Programmatic streaming audio ads are 15- to 30-second non-skippable audio spots served to users on mobile devices, tablets, desktops, smart speakers, and even connected TV. These ads play during premium digital audio content, including music streaming apps (e.g., Spotify, Pandora), podcasts, and online radio platforms.
