Following NewFront’s suspension, the companies that were dropped include Twitter, Verizon Media, Amazon, BBC News, Meredith, The New York Times Co., and Voodoo (which is in the process of being sold to Walmart NBCUniversal’s Fandango).

Earlier, the 2020 NewFront was scheduled for April 27-May 6 at various locations in New York City. Patterned on the TV industry’s upfront – which was forced to switch to Internet-only processes – the annual Newfront allows digital media players to showcase new programming, formatting, and advertising capabilities to advertisers and agencies.

The IAB said it was still in talks to add more presenters. Trade Group President David Cohen also stressed that it was “in the final stages of bringing incredibly attractive hosts for Newfronts this year.”
