Show Analytics
TV DATA IN OVERDRIVE
The HotSwitch Enteprise Dashboard can deliver
powerful metrics on a per-show basis. Among
these are viewership, HotSwitch Rank, follower
count, engagement by posts, engagement by
reactions, engagement by age, and most relevant
audience conversation topics. HotSwitch Trends
can organize this data historically over the course
of each episode minute by minute.
Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology
will provide in-depth insights into social sentiment
and preference clustering. Preference clustering
will indicate a viewer’s leniency towards engaging
in other similar content.
