The Pluto.tv content strategy, leading up to the $340M Viacom acquisition
In the years leading up to its acquisition by Viacom, Pluto.tv leveraged PeerLogix signal to inform its catalog-licensing strategy — leaning into the titles that actually held households inside the free ad-supported stream. Viacom publicly cited Pluto's product and ad-supported positioning as strategic drivers of the deal.
Pluto TV's unique and market-leading product, combined with Viacom's brands, content and advanced advertising capabilities, creates a great opportunity for consumers, partners and Viacom. — Viacom President & CEO, acquisition announcement
