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.
Demand data can be used by entertainment executives to make more informed decisions regarding content, acquisition, distribution, and programming. For example, looking at "Falling Skies" in the US for March 2024, an entertainment executive could use demand data to answer various questions:
1. How is Falling Skies performing relative to other shows?
The analysis shows that the show has 7.1 times the audience demand of the average show in the US over the last 30 days, which is good. It also shows that only 8.6% of all TV shows have this level of demand. Executives could use this data to compare the show to others in the market and determine its competitive position.
2. Is demand for Falling Skies increasing or decreasing?
The analysis shows that demand for the show has been decreasing recently. While it had a demand of 7.9 times the average over the last 90 days, the data from the last 30 days shows that demand is now at 7.1 times, indicating a decrease in popularity.
3. Who are the fans of Falling Skies and what other shows do they like?
The analysis shows that fans of Falling Skies also enjoy shows like "Star Trek: Lower Decks", "The Simpsons", "South Park" among others. Executives could use this data to determine the viewing patterns of the show's audience.
4. How is Falling Skies performing internationally?
The Parrot Pulse for Falling Skies shows that its worldwide audience demand across all platforms is good, while its travel ability is okay. The show's longevity, momentum, franchisability, and reach are all rated as good or outstanding.

5. What markets should we focus on for distribution or marketing
The analysis shows that the show performed well in the United States, France, Netherlands, Romania, United Kingdom, Brazil, Spain, Italy, and Australia. This data could be used by executives to determine where they should focus their distribution and marketing efforts if they want to capitalize on the show's popularity.

For "Falling Skies," executives could use the demand data to determine how much the show is worth to their platform and weigh that information against other variables when making acquisition or distribution decisions.
