Sky Media and Amazon Ads said on October 6, 2026 that advertisers in the UK and Ireland can buy Sky’s premium video supply and audiences through Amazon Ads Agent, according to PPC Land.

What is on offer

  • Supply from Sky Go, NOW, Sky Glass, Sky Q and Sky Stream, plus partner content from HBO Max, Discovery+ and TNT Sports.
  • Programmatic guaranteed deals are available now. Private marketplace deals will follow through Amazon Ads Agent, and invitation-only auction deals later. No dates were given.
  • Advertisers can use Sky’s “proprietary audience signals”, which the release does not define.
  • Omnicom Media was an early access partner.

What is missing

The release does not give prices, fees, minimum commitments, impression volumes, formats, frequency controls or the measurement currency. PPC Land also notes that several background links in its own article point to other topics, so we rely only on the facts above.

Our read

Streaming sellers are listing the same inventory with several buyers, so the question for a buyer is less where supply sits and more what it costs and how it is measured. Ask for both before moving budget.
