More Money, No Problems

The CNN Video Affiliate Network is a powerful digital video syndication platform that provides our partners quality video content from CNN and 900+ trusted local news providers from around the US.  And it’s never been easier to create additional advertising revenue – automated video monetization is built in.

By combining the power of the CNN brand, our industry-leading advertising sales and the reach of our network, the CNN VAN can generate high quality advertisers and CPMs for our affiliates’ news content. And publishers love the VAN because it provides them with pre-curated, topical content to fill their digital platforms, along with more ad revenue.

How does it work?

There are three parties involved in a transaction. The content “owner” is the source of the video. In the VAN, video content may originate from either Newsource affiliates or CNN itself. The content “publisher” places the video on their site for their digital audience to view.* CNN Ad Sales sells national advertising inventory that will play when a user starts a video from the publisher’s website. At that point, the video is monetized, and each party will split the advertising revenue from that transaction.
