Network object

The Network object names the company that owns or licenses a group of channels, such as a broadcast network or a studio that distributes its own programming. It sits at Content.network, one level above Content.channel, and was added in OpenRTB 2.6 mainly for CTV and streaming audio.

How it is used

One app, such as a FAST aggregator or a live TV streaming service, can carry hundreds of channels from many owners, so App.bundle alone cannot tell a buyer whose programming the ad runs in. Network answers that at the owner level and Channel at the feed level. Buyers target and report on the ID and domain; the name is for people.
