TenCast for Advertisers
Every viewer sees every ad. No skipping. No scrolling past. Just 10 seconds of full-screen attention, guaranteed.
Why TenCast
Every broadcaster clip is 10 seconds. So is every ad. Viewers can't skip, scroll, or tab away.
Your ad plays at full screen between live clips — no banners competing for space, no fold issues. The whole viewport, yours.
TenCast doesn't have a skip button. Viewers sit through every ad, every time. 100% completion rate is the default.
Reach people actively watching live content — not passive scrollers. Live viewers are 3x more engaged than VOD audiences.
CPM pricing means you only pay for actual impressions. Start from $10/day — no agency fees, no minimums on banners.

FAQ
Exactly 10 seconds — matching TenCast's broadcast format. Every broadcaster clip is 10 seconds, so every ad slot is 10 seconds too. This keeps the experience seamless and keeps your message tight and memorable.
Video ads play every ~10 broadcaster clips. So viewers see an ad roughly once per minute of live content. This frequency is high enough to build brand recognition without disrupting the experience.
All ads go through AI-assisted content review before approval. We don't allow explicit content, illegal products or services, misleading claims, or content that violates our community guidelines. Most ads are approved within 24 hours. If yours is rejected, you'll receive clear feedback on why.
All campaigns are billed monthly with a $100/month minimum for video and banner ads. Branded overlays are flat-rate monthly ($300–$1,000/mo depending on slot). For CPM campaigns, you pay per 1,000 impressions delivered. For CPC campaigns, you pay only when a viewer clicks your ad. Pricing automatically adjusts by season: Q4 (Oct–Dec) carries a 40% peak premium; Q1 (Jan–Mar) gets a 30% off-season discount. You can set a monthly spend cap so you never exceed your budget. Cancel or pause anytime — no contracts.
No. TenCast doesn't have a skip button for ads. Full-screen video ads must play before the next broadcaster clip appears — there is no way to advance past the ad. Banner ads are always visible during live broadcasts. This is by design: we built a format where ads are part of the experience, not an annoyance layered on top.
For video ads: MP4 or WebM files, exactly 10 seconds long, minimum 720p resolution. For banner ads: PNG or JPG images, recommended 1280×120px or 1920×120px for best results across screen sizes. For branded overlays: a logo image (PNG with transparency recommended, square or 2:1 ratio) plus a short text message up to 60 characters.
Yes. The advertiser dashboard tracks impressions, completions (for video), and estimated reach in real time. For video ads, we also track completion rate — which on TenCast is effectively 100%, since there's no skip button.
