Flexible Analytic Capabilities
The media management portal allows PCTV to analyze detailed viewer statistics from both on demand and live streaming systems. PCTV can see both historical and current viewership of individual episodes, series, specials and even overall popularity of a producer. This allows them to analyze trends related to viewership.
The data has proven invaluable and PCTV is beginning to make informed decisions about future programming based on data they have gained from the platform. They are able to give meaningful feedback to producers, hosts and guests about the content they have been a part of. This data has also brought in sponsored ad revenue and has also uncovered new markets; for example, PCTV has learned that there are a significant number of foreign viewers.
