Broadcast television carries a credibility that no digital channel has yet replicated. When a brand founder, product, or story appears in a CBS, NBC or ABC lifestyle segment, the implicit editorial endorsement is understood by audiences at a level that digital advertising cannot manufacture. People know what they are watching, and they know that a segment producer chose to feature this story. That trust — earned, not bought — is the most valuable PR asset a brand can hold.
The US broadcast TV affiliate network is also far more accessible than most brands realise. The 50+ lifestyle segment slots across CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, CW and independent affiliates in mid-tier and major markets are actively looking for compelling products, founders, and stories. Every local station needs content. The challenge is not the broadcasters' willingness to feature brands — it is knowing which producers to approach, what story format they want, and how to deliver a segment brief that makes their job easier.
Digital TV: the high-authority middle ground
Between traditional broadcast TV and digital media sits a tier of digital TV placements that offers broadcast-calibre credibility with faster turnaround and broader digital distribution. Fox 5 San Diego, WPIX-TV New York, Dallas Area Fox, USA Today TV and Independent UK TV all produce premium video segments that air on their broadcast or streaming channels and are distributed across digital platforms — generating backlinks, social shares and YouTube views alongside the broadcast credibility.
Bloomberg UK TV occupies a unique position in this landscape — it provides business and finance segments with the global authority of the Bloomberg brand for executives and organisations seeking institutional investor credibility. A Bloomberg TV segment is among the most powerful single PR assets available to a finance, tech or business brand. We handle the full booking process — from segment angle development to talking-point preparation and post-broadcast rights acquisition — so the placement generates maximum long-term value.
