The Demand Distribution curve illustrates how a TV show’s popularity compares to the demand benchmark, which is a measure of the average demand across all titles. The curve is divided into performance buckets, ranging from “Below Average” to “Exceptional”. A show falls into one of these performance buckets depending on how many times more or less demand it has compared to the demand benchmark.
The show’s performance is market-specific, e.g. the same show can be in the “Average” range in the United States and in the “Good” range in France.
As an example, if a show has 9 times more demand than the demand benchmark, it falls in the “Outstanding” performance range; only 2.7% of all shows in the market reach this high level of demand.
As a TV executive, you can benefit greatly from the use of demand data to make more informed content, acquisition, distribution, and programming decisions. An excellent example of the application of demand data is in the analysis of American Horror Story for the month of October 2023 in Denmark. American Horror Story is a popular show about a family of three who move into a haunted house in Los Angeles, unaware of the demonic creatures that inhabit it. Here are some of the ways that using demand data for American Horror Story can help you make better entertainment industry decisions:
Content Valuation:
- Content valuation uses demand data to answer questions like, "How much is my series worth?" and "What is the baseline value of a title?" American Horror Story has been experiencing outstanding demand in Denmark, with 8.0 times the audience demand of the average show and a ranking at the 99.9th percentile in the drama genre. This indicates that the show has high market value and relevant popularity.
Programming Decisions:
- Demand allows you to value content, and you can use demand data to decide which titles to buy to retain or grow your audience. For instance, if you want to keep the current audience happy, you might choose to acquire American Horror Story, which has remarkable demand in Denmark. Likewise, the show is an excellent choice for acquiring new subscribers as it ranks high in the drama genre, and its demand has been increasing recently in Denmark. You can also use demand data to decide on the best release strategy for your content for example, you can leverage the show's growing popularity and choose to premiere it during the time of year when demand spiked.
Acquisition Decisions:
- Demand data powers content valuation, and you can determine the ROI a specific title will bring to your platform. In this vein, you can use demand data to assess American Horror Story's ability to drive subscriptions and mitigate churn, using its recent popularity as an indicator. Additionally, you can use demand data to compare content against other titles available in the market.

American Horror Story has outstanding travelability, meaning that it has great potential for global distribution.
