GSTV / Big Machine Label Group Partnership
GSTV, the national on-the-go video network engaging and entertaining targeted audiences at scale across tens of thousands of fuel retailers, today announced a partnership with Big Machine Label Group, a subsidiary of HYBE America to deliver exclusive musical content to GSTV screens.

We are told that this partnership will provide brands the opportunity to work with the label group’s artists and music in new ways, like participating in unique activations like the Big Machine Label Group x CMA Fest 2024 – all while entertaining and engaging GSTV’s on-the-go audience of more than 115 million unique viewers each month.
