For the multimedia ecosystem and TV broadcasting channels of DISCOVERY EDITION / Reservaline.com, video advertising does not rely on skippable or intrusive formats (such as standard digital pre-rolls). Instead, it features native promotional placements hard-coded directly into the master video file during the editing process of the episode or report. This permanent placement guarantees unskippable exposure, ensuring viewers cannot skip or remove the promotional segment.
