AT&T's WarnerMedia, Xandr pair up to sell digital ads to political advertisers

- AT&T Incs media company WarnerMedia and advertising unit Xandr said Wednesday they will allow political advertisers to buy automated digital ads on its media properties for the first time, as the companies gear up for billions of dollars expected to be spent as the U.S.

The ad sales partnership between WarnerMedia and Xandr will allow political campaigns and advocacy organizations to buy digital ads on networks like CNN and TNT using an automated tech system.

WarnerMedia will still be able to manually approve the content of the political ads, which are highly regulated on traditional television, the companies said.

Political ads on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and TikTok have become a hotly-contested issue, as each have taken different approaches to labeling or even allowing political ads.
