"The release of this lexicon is a unique opportunity for MVPDs to align at the most basic level—the words we use to talk about our advertising offerings. In many ways, MVPDs sit in the center of today’s multiscreen advertising opportunities, and the onus is on us to lead by example. We hope others will adopt the terms so we can all speak the same language and simplify on behalf of the industry.”

—James Rooke, President, Comcast Advertising
