Gas Station TV and ESPN have renewed their content agreement, offering advertisers new capabilities for brand integration with ESPN sports video content at the gas pump. 

Advertisers can couple brand integration with calls to action for products sold in gas station convenience stores, according to GSTV. GSTV's partnership with ESPN will now allow it to deliver full-motion video clips as part of its news content covering football, basketball, baseball and auto racing, among other sports.

AMP Energy was the first advertiser to take advantage of brand integration with this new, more engaging programming. The spots also used GSTV "action tags" encouraging viewers to buy AMP Energy in the gas station convenience store.

In June GSTV and PepsiCo announced a multiyear deal to promote Pepsi and other PepsiCo drinks, including AMP Energy, AMP Energy Juice and Brisk, via GSTV's network of digital displays in gas pumps.

Altogether the network delivers about 27 million monthly viewers at the pump in over 100 U.S. DMAs, through partnerships with 13 of the nation's leading gas retailers.

GSTV's other programming includes exclusive news and entertainment segments from NBCU, local weather from AccuWeather and GSTV's original content program, "Your Neighborhood."
