Comscore Is Going All In On Cross-Channel, Content-Level Measurement

Content is still king – so long as you measure it correctly.

The TV landscape has shifted from a focus on platforms to a focus on content, Comscore’s Chief Commercial Officer Steve Bagdasarian told AdExchanger at CES 2026 in Las Vegas.

“Audiences are fluidly moving between multiple channels now. There’s no longer a silo-based approach,” said Bagdasarian.

That fluidity creates a stronger need for omni-channel, cross-platform measurement, which is something Comscore plans to focus on for 2026 moving forward. To that end, the company recently announced that ESPN will use the cross-platform content measurement product to analyze how fans tune in across linear, streaming, digital and social video.

“We’re thinking about the role of episodic information being down to the program level,” Bagdasarian added.

    The End Of Easy Measurement: Building An Evidence-Based System For Marketing ROI

    Marketers are projected to have invested nearly $400 billion in US media in 2025, based on estimates from MAGNA and eMarketer. About half of that will go toward finding new customers. Yet, as marketing investment grows, clarity on what actually drives ROI and growth continues to shrink. The loss of third-party identifiers, rising privacy restrictions and closed ecosystems have made it harder to see what’s working.
