The channel's programming content will include general news reporting, cryptocurrency reviews, a celebrity evening talk show, FUD Busting, gamers in crypto, as well as a show on exchanges and Initial Coin Offering's (ICO's).According to a recent report from the Video Advertising Bureau (VAB), the number of U.S. TV households using only over-the-top (OTT) streaming services and devices has tripled since 2013, rising to 14.1 million homes. The report also found that the use of OTT devices and access is on the rise, with nearly one-third of all OTT subscribers having three or more ways of accessing content, an increase of eight times from two years ago."We are also fielding a considerable amount of interest in advertising space as almost all operators in the crypto space are hungry for increased exposure for their operations. Advertising will be one of the most crucial revenue sources for the company and we are very encouraged by the potential we can already see coming our way," Slome continued.The VAB report also projects that advertising will continue to be an essential component of the OTT ecosystem. According to the findings, 65 percent of people who use a second screen while streaming content have looked up information about a product they've seen advertised or featured on that program.The company plans to announce the titles of the shows by the end of October of the 14 pilots with previews released on www.cryptocake.com and the CryptoCake YouTube channel with the full channel set to launch February 2019.
