Facebook tests empowering publishers to deliver ads to Watch

Facebook wants to be friendlier to TV networks and digital media publishers who have shows on Watch by giving these partners the ability to sell ads through their own ad technology, according to advertising and technology executives with knowledge of the initiative.The social media giant is working with a select group of media companies to test connecting their ad technology directly into Watch so the partners can serve ads programmatically for their shows. For example, a TV network that shares late-night TV clips to Watch would control the ad inventory, instead of having Facebook deliver all the ads, as it does now. TV networks and digital publishers often use third-party ad technology like Comcast's Freewheel and Google Ad Manager to manage and deliver their inventory; Disney recently adopted Google technology as the backbone of the delivery system for its internet ads.Facebook's efforts to integrate with those third-parties, including a rival like Google, are an indication that it wants to be more responsive to the needs of media partners. Also, Watch needs a jumpstart; even Facebook has acknowledged that the 18-month-old service has failed to catch fire as quickly as hoped.
