Pixalate has analyzed which publicly traded companies own the most Connected TV (CTV) apps that rank in the top 100 on the CTV Publisher Trust Index.
After having just one app to rank high in May’s CTV Publisher Trust Indexes, Grey Television (GTN) rose to the first position among publicly traded companies with 16 apps within the top 100 of Pixalate's CTV app quality rankings. It was enough to dethrone Discovery Inc. (DISCA), whose apps secured 17 ranks in May's classifications but 15 in June.
Except for Gray Television's jump, the top of the ranking remained similar compared to May 2021. The Walt Disney Company (DIS) is closely behind the two aforementioned companies, with 13 apps in June's classifications. However, it is a slight increase compared to 11 in May.
Since May, we observe a significant increase of companies owning at least one app in the CTV Publisher Trust Indexes. In May, 16 unique companies fulfilled this criterion, while in June, there were 23.
Interestingly, the number of apps owned by companies listed on stock exchanges dropped for the second month in a row in the Roku ranking. In April, there were 49 such apps. While in May and June, the number decreased to 43 and 37, respectively.
This number remained similar to in June for the Amazon Fire TV ranking, with 76 apps owned by publicly traded companies, compared to 73 in May.
