LG Ad Solutions and Magnite announced on October 14, 2026 a three-year extension of their partnership, according to PPC Land.

What was announced

  • Magnite’s SpringServe stays LG Ad Solutions’ exclusive CTV video ad server.
  • Magnite remains a preferred programmatic partner in North America, APAC and EMEA; the exclusivity covers CTV video ad serving, not programmatic selling in general.
  • LG Home Screen inventory becomes available for agentic buying through Magnite’s Seller Agent.
  • LG will make wider use of ClearLine.

The first campaign

Independent agency H/L bought the first campaign for the Northern California Toyota Dealers Association, timed to the fall football season. The companies say it moved from planning to execution through a single path. No reach, completion, set-up time or sales data was released.

Company figures

LG says about 97% of LG Smart TV users start on the Home Screen, averaging three visits a day. These are company-reported and unaudited.

Not stated

Deal value, revenue share, the markets covered, which buyer agent or protocol H/L used, pricing against direct buys, and whether LG first-party data is exposed to agents.

Our read

The announcement shows the plumbing exists. It does not yet show that agents buy better than people, and the companies released no results.
