Last quarter, NFLX earnings snuck up on me. So my data wasn't prepped. That's why today is "data day" for me.
2/ This AM I organized 15 weeks of Nielsen data by production type, first/second/library run, Original and what not.
3/ Now, I just updated my Film table. Some fun stats:
Netflix has released 30 #datecdotes to date, with Nielsen providing 2 more.
Here's a sample of my color coded chart like a crazy person:
4/ I almost posted the whole thing but I can't give away my secret sauce...
5/ TV is up to date.
26 data points with a other bonus tidbits.
6/ Okay, TV is proof read and double checked. Down to 25 data points.
Found a few duplicate section. Also a few random facts.
7/ OVerall, I trust Netflix datecdotes on film much more than TV, since watching 2 minutes of an episode is almost nonsense.
8/ So now that data is cleaned up, I can start making charts for tomorrow.
9/ My goal for tomorrow isn't to repeat the same numbers most other outlets will report (just repeating NFLX new data/charts), but to put them in original context you won't find elsewhere.
Okay. logging off for the day.
Do you have any data/context questions or charts you want to see me make? That's my goal for tomorrow so happy to feed the audience what I can.

Why? To understand the delays caused by coronavirus shut downs, this is what basically impacts everything.
1/ As I’ve said before, in a previous life I did a LOT of content planning for a streamer. One of the things meant understanding when we clicked “Go” on a scripted series when it would come to air.
This is the rule of thumb I used for calendar planning. Like years out.
Thread: And I'm still not done with AT&T/Warner Media/HBO Max.
Here's a thread with my advice for Warner Media and where they should go from here with #HBOMax $T
Why Warner Media? Well, day-to-day, they’re really the folks running a streaming platform. All the partnerships and promotions run by AT&T are nice, but the content/product folks are responsible for making HBO Max succeed.
Step 1: Hold the line on Amazon for Prime Channels distribution and providing content for IMDb TV.
