OpenStream

Purpose: OpenStream is a technology platform that creates a recurring revenue channel for radio and podcast publishers.
Ad insertion: The service inserts audio advertisements and selects relevant, high-paying campaigns.
Radio monetization: Radio publishers can sell ad space, appear in the OpenStream marketplace, and serve geolocated pre-roll and mid-roll ads.
Podcast monetization: Podcast publishers can use geolocated pre-roll and out-roll ads, monetize their catalog by changing episode URLs, and retain their own sponsors.
Analytics: The dashboard provides historical revenue and audience statistics plus a realtime audience map.
Compatibility: OpenStream works on all devices and players, including WordPress.
Ad policy: OpenStream says it offers premium ads and excludes adult, pornographic, and gambling advertisements.
Technical model: The service acts as a proxy that sends an ad and redirects listeners, and it says it does not store or copy podcast content.
Integrations: Setup instructions cover Libsyn, iTunes, SoundCloud, and Feedburner, while BluBrry is unsupported.
Registration: New account registration is currently closed because OpenStream reached the maximum number of accounts it can monetize, with a waitlist available.
Audience threshold: OpenStream reserves fast-lane accounts for popular radio stations with a minimum of 1 million active sessions per month.
Infrastructure: OpenStream states that it provides unlimited traffic, 10 Gbps streaming servers, redundant routers and firewalls, a 99.99% uptime guarantee, and 24/7 network monitoring.
Payments: Publisher payments activate at a $50 earnings threshold after a validation process that takes four months, with payments usually sent in the last week of the month.
Privacy: The privacy policy identifies Impek SARL as the data controller and describes GDPR rights including access, rectification, deletion, objection, restriction, portability, and withdrawal of consent.
