Video ad platform
FreeWheel
freewheel.tv
FreeWheel, owned by Comcast, is a video ad platform used by broadcasters and CTV publishers.
Most of the 178,980 apps that declare freewheel.tv reach it through a reseller: 100% have a RESELLER line, 14% a DIRECT one (27,979 files, 10,699 of them through thebrave.io's account). Its sellers.json lists 2,266 sellers but leaves out 3,657 accounts that app-ads.txt files name, so we do not grade the lines against it.

Common errors with freewheel.tv lines
-
Seller ID not found
544,061 lines
Ask FreeWheel for the account ID it lists for you in its sellers.json, correct the line, or remove it if you no longer work with them. Buyers that check sellers.json drop these paths.
-
Seller type BOTH
6,885 lines
The account is listed as BOTH, so sellers.json alone cannot tell a buyer which relationship applies. Nothing to fix on your side; buyers usually look at the seller's domain.
-
RESELLER but publisher
2,430 lines
If the account is yours, declare it DIRECT. If a partner holds it, ask FreeWheel why the account is listed as PUBLISHER.
-
DIRECT but intermediary
238 lines
If a partner holds this account and resells your inventory, the line should say RESELLER. If the account is yours, ask FreeWheel to list it as PUBLISHER.
Intermediaries most declared as RESELLER
