Approximately 90% of the contract liability balance relates to annual subscriptions.

TRADE AND BARTER TRANSACTIONS
The Company regularly enters into trade and barter transactions, primarily for the purpose of exchanging content assets through licensing agreements with media counterparties.
For content acquired through trade and barter transactions, the Company records the acquired assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and amortizes those assets over the term of the content license, beginning at the time the asset is placed in service or monetized otherwise, in accordance with the Company’s content and amortization policies. For other products and services received through trade and barter transactions, the Company records operating expenses upon receipt of such products and services, as applicable.
The transaction price for these contracts is measured at the estimated fair value of the non-cash consideration received unless this is not reasonably estimable, in which case, the consideration is measured based on the standalone selling price of the services provided. For an exchange of content, the performance obligation is satisfied at the time the content is made available for the counterparty to use, which represents the point in time that control is transferred. For advertising, the performance obligation is satisfied upon the Company’s delivery of the media campaign or other service to the counterparty.
