Sound familiar?

Channel rejected for being “similar”

OTT and IPTV platforms refuse by comparing channels by eye.

No data to prove uniqueness.

Schedule does not maximize viewership

Strong content sits in weak slots.

Without competitor analysis you lose audience.

No arguments in negotiations

Channel value is discussed without numbers.

Harder to defend tariff and package position.

What you get

6 ready analytics modules — overlaps, uniqueness, slots and competitive context.

Each module can be used alone or together.

Module 1 of 6 Key

Schedule overlap

Problem

Compare your channels to the market in hours — not by gut feel — to argue packaging and tariff position.

Solution

Overlap in hours and % for each channel pair + the titles that drive overlap, with hours per title.

Benefit

A verifiable argument for package pricing talks — and a basis to cut overlap or use it as part of package value.

Sample report · demo data

Channel 1 × Channel 2 — maximum overlap in hours (33.2 h) among 6 sample channels

33.2 h overlap

40.7% of air on Channel 1 · 48.5% of air on Channel 2

Pairs ranked by absolute overlap volume in hours (not by %). Overlap: sum of minutes of the same title airing on both channels (no double-counting).

Channel pair	Hours	% of air (A / B)
Channel 1 × Channel 2	33.2 h	40.7% / 48.5%
Channel 3 × Channel 2	15.7 h	41.1% / 22.9%
Channel 3 × Channel 1	13.8 h	36.1% / 16.9%
Channel 3 × Channel 4	4.5 h	11.8% / 26.0%
Channel 4 × Channel 1	4.5 h	26.0% / 5.5%
Channel 4 × Channel 2	4.5 h	26.0% / 6.6%

Top titles for Channel 1 × Channel 2: “Heartbreakers” 13.8 h · “Collision” 12.7 h · “The Crimson Rivers” 6.8 h.

Market overview based on a sample of channels. Method illustration, not final volumes. Your perimeter and period are calculated separately.

Module 2 of 6 Key

Channel uniqueness

Problem

Prove the value of unique channel content when the channel risks being dropped or tariff-cut.

Solution

Content uniqueness index — share of airtime not present on compared channels + titles that create uniqueness.

Benefit

A concrete number instead of “we have unique content” — an argument that defends channel tariff in talks.

Sample report · demo data

Channel 5 and Channel 6 — 0 shared titles with the other 4 channels

100% unique content in perimeter

Share of airtime on content absent from the other channel — broken down by title.

Channel	Uniqueness index
Channel 6	100%
Channel 5	100%
Channel 4	74%
Channel 1	59.3%
Channel 2	28.5%

Detail: Channel 5 — “Losers” 34.1 h; Channel 6 — “Cutthroat Island” 11.0 h, “The Departed” 7.7 h, “Bridget Jones” 7.5 h.

Market overview based on a sample of channels. Method illustration, not final volumes. Your perimeter and period are calculated separately.

Module 3 of 6

Content saturation

Problem

See when audience interest in a title fades so you can rotate the schedule in time.

Solution

Interest-change index over time — by air hours, channel coverage and channel type for a chosen period.

Benefit

A basis for timely rotation or license renewal — from airing patterns in the grid.

Sample report · demo data

Problem

Solution

Benefit

Module 5 of 6

Genre landscape

Problem

Assess competitive genre density when planning a new channel, package or repositioning.

Solution

Genre competitive density and its change over time for a chosen channel perimeter.

Benefit

Justification for niche and timeslot choice when launching a product — with numbers, not expert opinion alone.

51.3 h max — Channel 1, over 3 months

more than other genres combined on 4 of 6 channels

Module 6 of 6

Slot chronology

Problem

Track when and how a competitor changed the schedule — e.g. moved blocks or premieres.

Solution

Benefit

Explain rating jumps without asking competitors for raw data — on your own figures.

Sample report · demo data

FAQ

Ready-made reports or data access?

Ready modules — for fast answers on common jobs. If you need your own metrics — data access via API and the Data Constructor is available.

Do we need our own analytics stack?

No. Modules work without your infrastructure. Your own analytics is only needed if you want to build custom models.

What if our question is not covered by modules?

Use the Data Constructor — you formulate your query and get an answer without exporting raw data.
