Behind the screen: How NTVB Media helps publishers engage readers and grow revenue

When The Villages Daily Sun launched a nostalgia-driven insert called Classics, they sold out ad space for the entire year and signed up 46 brand-new advertisers. At Lee Enterprises, a partnership with NTVB Media delivered daily “What to Watch” recommendations to more than 200 newspapers, replacing outdated TV grids and giving readers content they actually wanted. For Tom Comi, NTVB’s vice president of content partnerships, those results highlight an industry blind spot. “The average person watches six hours of television a day,” he said. “Newspapers have a tremendous opportunity to be the go-to source on what to watch — and too many are leaving that on the table.”
