ZingX uses automation to simplify TV ad buying into an intuitive, three-step process.

- Preview allocated impressions and budgets and adjust if needed.
- Submit to stations and track delivery. Impressions are automatically reallocated as spots air to optimize CPM and budget goals.
ZingX offers a cloud-based, user-friendly interface for easy updates and accessibility, making it easy for buyers to create, manage, and measure their campaigns from anywhere, anytime.

WideOrbit is the system of record for more than $37 billion in advertising spend annually, for over 6,000 radio and TV stations and networks, including 90% of local US broadcast TV stations. ZingX is the only buy-side platform offering direct access to inventory from local TV stations that use WideOrbit’s sell-side exchange, WO Marketplace, leveraging automation to simplify transaction processes for impression-based local TV ad buys.
ZingX is integrated with Comscore’s Local Market Television Measurement to provide the data advertisers need to reach impression targets based on market and/or daypart, rather than making specific program buys. “Broadcast TV remains the most effective way to reach large numbers of consumers,” said Carol Hinnant, Chief Revenue Officer at Comscore. “We are excited to expand our longstanding partnership with WideOrbit to help power automation that allows advertisers to easily reach audiences across local markets and demographics.”
“With over 20 years’ experience as the leader in premium broadcast technology and the largest sell-side processor of premium advertising, WideOrbit is excited to bring that expertise to the buy side with ZingX,” said Eric Mathewson, WideOrbit Founder and CEO. “Optimized for the buyer, ZingX leverages WO Marketplace, our sell-side platform broadcasters already use, making it easy for buyers to access television’s reach and effectiveness, with the benefits of zero-fraud and brand safety unique to premium local TV advertising.”
