AVOD stands for Advertising-based video on demand, a film, television and theater abbreviation.
Streaming model in which viewers watch for free and the service earns revenue from ads, as with YouTube and Tubi. Some subscription services also offer ad-supported tiers.
Example: Older movies find a second life on AVOD platforms such as Tubi.
Usage notes
AVOD services license large libraries of older content. Advertisers value them because viewing can be measured more precisely than broadcast TV. FAST channels are a related, linear form of ad-supported streaming.
