Beyond the Headlines

1. Why data accuracy and availability matter

Streaming has profoundly changed our content-watching habits. It’s especially changed how networks, production companies, and even streaming services themselves measure the success of their programming. 

 With new streaming content being released every day and distribution rights changing hands in a blink of an eye, maintaining streaming availability data, keeping it accurate, and ensuring that all associated metadata and imagery are up-to-date is a nearly impossible task. 

 What’s the solution? Reelgood’s full-service data feeds, or as we call it – our Firehose. Click here to read more.


2. Catalog size per streamer for the first three quarters of the year

Consumers aren’t at a loss for options when it comes to streaming. These days, platforms are constantly working on increasing their catalog size and improving their content offering. The latest data from Reelgood’s VOD Catalog Insights Product dives into the top SVODs in the U.S by catalog size for Q1, Q2, and Q3 2022.

5. The TV of Tomorrow recap

Our head of Marketing, Catharine Burhenne, recently spoke at the TV of Tomorrow conference in San Francisco. Discussing the topic of Guidance, Navigation, and the Paradox of Choice, Burhenne and a panel talked about how the overabundance of choice in television streaming can lead consumers to feel overwhelmed, indecisive and frustrated when choosing something to watch now that content is spread across multiple different platforms and services.

The group also discussed how to solve this issue, citing developments in recommendation and personalization technologies, search algorithms, metadata, and user interfaces to simplify the process of choosing.
