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 an entertainment executive making content acquisition or distribution decisions, considering audience demand data can provide valuable insights for making more informed decisions. In the case of RuPaul's Drag Race, audience demand data can inform various decisions in the following ways:
1. Making Valuation Decisions: RuPaul's Drag Race has 24.4 times more audience demand than the average TV show in the United States over the last 30 days and has been consistent in its performance over time. By examining demand data from different markets, executives can also evaluate how much this show could potentially be worth to different platforms and make informed decisions about their content budgets.
2. Programming Decisions: Demand data can influence programming decisions such as scheduling and programming mix. By examining the demand trendlines executives can gauge how much more support this show needs for fan engagement during off-seasons.
3. Releasing-Decisions: By using demand data executives can learn about the ideal release strategy for a show, thereby informing how and when to release a title. In the case of "RuPaul's Drag Race," executives can learn how demand has recently spiked in the US; and therefore, how decisions on when to market or air the series can be managed.
4. Talent Acquisition Decisions: Studying fan affinity for RuPaul's Drag Race can give executives additional insights into preferred talent, allowing for better-informed decisions about which stars to feature in their shows.
5. Platform Targeting Decisions: As demand for "RuPaul's Drag Race" is high across different markets, executives can use this data as an opportunity to expand platform targeting in the regions where the demand is high.

In conclusion, executives can leverage this and other demand metrics to inform their content valuation, programming, talent acquisition, and releasing-decision-making processes.
