Integrates Taboola’s Mid-article Video Placements to Drive Revenue and Optimize Engagement
NEW YORK, February 2, 2021 – Taboola, a global leader in powering recommendations for the open web, helping people discover things they may like, today announced the renewal of its partnership with Sinclair Broadcast Group (Sinclair), a diversified media company and leading provider of local sports and news.
The partnership will result in Sinclair using Taboola’s discovery platform and suite of products across their television station sites including its ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC affiliates, as well as its mobile platforms, to optimize user engagement, increase audience loyalty and drive revenue.
Sinclair already uses Taboola’s recommendation engine and Taboola Feed, a seamlessly integrated infinite scroll that provides readers with personalized content for a more engaging experience, enabling monetization of below-article placements.

We know we can count on Taboola as a key discovery partner to continue to achieve our revenue growth goals.”
