Annual State of Play report expands on Data Hub findings, dives deep into Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix and Paramount+ content
NEW YORK – November 13, 2024 – Gracenote, the content data business unit of Nielsen, has launched a new Data Hub providing insight into the current state of subscription video on-demand (SVOD) programming to identify global content trends and changes over time. Tapping Gracenote Global Video Data, the industry’s most comprehensive database of TV show and movie information, the data visualization graphically illustrates the current makeup of Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix and Paramount+ content catalogs to provide visibility into the programming that’s keeping viewers engaged today.
The Gracenote Data Hub complements Nielsen’s The Gauge™ and The Media Distributor Gauge, which measure time spent by audiences on individual streaming platforms and aggregated at the media company level. With the Gracenote Data Hub, the industry can better understand the content catalogs of global SVOD providers enabling churn reduction and time spent growth.
Gracenote examines SVOD catalogs across 23 countries for unique insights on movie, TV and sports programming content volume, genre, mood, exclusivity and country of origin. Equipped with Data Hub intelligence, media ecosystem players from video services to content owners to advertisers can develop data-informed strategies relating to content distribution, licensing and media buying.
“Gracenote data has long been trusted by the global video ecosystem to power advanced content discovery and engaging entertainment experiences,” said Trent Wheeler, Head of Product Innovation at Gracenote. “Through new resources tapping our data, we’re enabling clear visibility into catalog volume and composition as well as content makeup and characteristics to help inform business decisions that drive success.“
In addition to the Data Hub, Gracenote has published its 2024 State of Play report, which contextualizes the Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix and Paramount+ content data, examines notable programming trends and offers new insights to help guide business decisions. This marks the third installment of the report.
