Abstract
An ad decision service ('ADS') serves advertisements to digital platforms in parity with linear programming schedules. The advertisements are prepared ahead of time by the ADS based on the linear programming schedules that indicate ad space availability. Upon receiving ad requests from a digital delivery platform, the ADS returns digital-compliant ad responses. Thus, the ADS provides the same ads that are chosen for delivery to linear platforms to the digital platforms.
