For venues

Commercial breaks that pay your venue.

Breaks switch to your promos and paid local ads, then back to the game. Installed free in Calgary.

Illustration: the TVs in a bar. Screens playing greyed-out ads for other businesses, including the pub down the street, switch to the venue's own promos and paid local ads in colour. All ads shown are fictional examples.

See the difference

Same break. Two outcomes.

On the left, the break as it plays today: an ad for the pub down the street. On the right, the same break with AdNova: your promo first, then paid local ads.

Example Ads shown are fictional examples.

An example of one commercial break on the same TV. Without AdNova, an ad for a competing pub down the street (Elbow Street Pub & Grill, a fictional example) plays and earns your venue $0. With AdNova, your own promo plays (2 for 1, wing night Wednesdays after 8 pm) in 1 of the 6 slots, paid local ads fill the other 5, and you earn 25% of the net ad revenue.

Inside a break

The ad time already exists. Make it yours.

Follow one commercial break on one of your TVs: what plays today, where the money goes, which slot is yours and how the box switches.

01 · The problem

Every break, your TV sells something for someone else.

The game pauses, the room keeps watching, and the ads that play earn your venue nothing. Sometimes they are for the pub down the street.

Your TVs are the most-watched surface in the room.

For the length of every commercial break they belong to whoever bought national airtime. You pay for the subscription, the screens and the crowd. They get the attention.

Picture one game night. Each grey block is a break where your screens show someone else’s ads. The pattern repeats every game, every screen, every week.

One game night

Example

An example game night from 7:00 pm to 10:30 pm, with four commercial breaks. Each break is sold by the broadcaster and pays your venue $0.

Paid to your venue tonight

$0.00

Ads shown are fictional examples. Illustrative pattern, not a count of breaks.

02 · How the money works

Advertisers pay. We fill the break. You earn a share.

Local businesses book your screens. AdNova sells, schedules and plays the ads, and every quarter you get a statement in CAD.

A local advertiser pays for the airtime, AdNova fills the break, and 25% of net ad revenue goes to you on your quarterly statement.

25%

of net ad revenue earned on your screens, paid quarterly in CAD. Promotional rate.

No hardware cost, no setup fee, no monthly fee. We earn only when ads play on your screens, so our job is to keep your breaks sold.

Net ad revenue is defined in the one-page venue agreement. The flow shows the split, not a forecast of dollars.

03 · Your slot in every break

1 of every 6 slots is yours.

1 of every 6 break slots plays your own promo: wing night, trivia, the patio opening. The other 5 are paid local ads.

Slot 1 of 6 · Your promo

Wing night Wednesdays · 2 for 1 after 8

Example

Your promo fills 1 of the 6 slots in every break; the rest are paid local ads. If nothing is sold, nothing switches.

You decide what plays in your slot, and we design your first promos for free. If a break has nothing sold and nothing scheduled, nothing switches: the TV stays on the game.

04 · How it works

The break starts. Your screens switch. Then back to the game.

A small box goes between your cable or satellite box and your TV. When a commercial break starts, it switches the TV to your promos and paid local ads. The moment the break ends, it switches back to the game.

FAQ

Questions venues ask us.

Short answers about the box, the setup, the ads and how you get paid.

The AdNova box

Installed free by us

Our team comes to your venue, connects the box between your cable or satellite box and your TV, and sets everything up. There is nothing for you to do.

Get started
What does it cost my venue?

Nothing. Every venue gets the same offer: a free box installed by our team, no installation fee and no monthly fee. We earn only when paid ads play on your screens, and you get 25% of the net ad revenue from them.

Which venues can get it?

Any venue with a TV and a crowd: sports bars and pubs, restaurants, gyms, hospitals and clinics, gas stations and convenience stores. If your venue has a TV that people watch, email us at sales@adnova.ca.

Is the box really free?

Yes. The box and the installation are free: our team installs it at your venue at no cost, and you never pay for the box. We earn only from the paid ads that play on your screens.

What do I need?

Power for the box near the TV, your venue’s Wi-Fi, and the HDMI connection that already runs from your cable or satellite box to your TV. Our team takes care of the rest.

You keep your TVs, your remote and your channels.

How does setup work?

We install it for you, free.

  1. You tell us about your venue, and we email you to book an installation time that suits you.
  2. Our team comes to your venue and connects the box between your cable or satellite box and your TV, then connects it to your Wi-Fi.
  3. We set up your first promos and check every screen before we leave.

All we need from you is power and Wi-Fi near the TV. There is nothing for you to do, and no work for your staff after that.

What ads will play on my TVs?

Only the commercial breaks change. When a break starts, your TVs switch to your own promos and paid ads, then back to the game when the broadcast returns.

Your promos get 1 of the 6 slots in every break. The other 5 play paid ads approved under our ad policy. If a break has nothing sold and nothing scheduled, nothing switches: the TV stays on the broadcast.

How do payments work?

Every quarter you get a statement in CAD showing what played on your screens and what it earned, by advertiser type. Your share, 25% of the net ad revenue from your screens, is paid quarterly.

Every dollar on the statement has a logged play behind it.

Do I keep control of my TVs?

Yes. The box only switches during commercial breaks, with no black screen and nothing to press on the remote. You keep your remote, your channels and the game.

You decide what plays in your slot, and you can change your promo schedule and the promos you upload anytime in the venue portal.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancel anytime: tell us you want to stop, and your share for every ad that played up to your last day is paid on your final statement.
