Broadcaster Catch-Up Data

A catch-up programme often says when it will leave. That date is a statement; the removal is an observation.

Broadcaster catch-up data covers the streaming catalogues of TV broadcasters, such as BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4 and the German public broadcasters' Mediatheken. Availability is often time-limited by law or licence: German public broadcasters must remove programmes after set periods. Many pages state an available-until date, so the stated end and the observed removal are separate fields. Every record carries its country, no account, stream or geo-restriction workaround is ever used, and viewership is never collected because no platform publishes it.

When a stated end date and an observed removal differ, both are recorded. The difference is a finding.

Broadcaster catch-up catalogues at a glance

How we handle Broadcaster catch-up catalogues specifically

Platform-specific handling, not a generic retail template pointed at a different domain.

Source: Broadcaster streaming catalogues
Examples: BBC iPlayer, ITVX, Channel 4, ARD, ZDF
Availability: Often time-limited
Germany: Removal periods set by the media state treaty
So: stated end and observed removal apart
Access: Usually one country; recorded per country
Premium tiers: E.g. ITVX Premium, recorded as plans
Refresh: Daily

Platform specifics

Stated end and observed end

These are the reasons a Broadcaster catch-up catalogues dataset needs its own handling rather than a shared retail schema.

Windows

Broadcasters show when a programme aired and, often, how long it stays available.

broadcast_date where shown.
available_until_stated from the page.
removed_at from observation; end_mismatch flagged.
series / episode availability, since episodes leave separately.

Licence rules, and what we do not do

Licence rules

Some services require a TV licence to watch; that is a condition recorded as stated, never tested. See our free services page.

Licensing windows

Titles are licensed per country and period, so arrivals, departures and returns are dated, as the OTT hub describes.

What we do not do

How we engage

Three ways to engage us

Same collection pipeline and QA underneath. The difference is who holds the schedule and how the data reaches you.

Managed service (most common)

We own the collection, the QA and the delivery. You receive clean data on a schedule and never touch a scraper.

Dedicated engineer assigned to your account
Site changes fixed by us, not reported to you
Scheduled delivery to your warehouse or S3
Named contact on Slack or email

Best fit: Teams who need the data, not the infrastructure.

API access

The same collection pipeline exposed as an authenticated REST endpoint your systems query directly.

On-demand and scheduled endpoints
Rate limits agreed to your load profile
Sandbox keys for integration testing
Versioned schema with deprecation notice

Best fit: Product and engineering teams building on live data.

One-time or project extraction

A defined pull for a specific question — market sizing, diligence, a pitch, a one-off audit.

Fixed scope agreed in writing upfront
Single delivery with full QA report
Methodology documented for your records
Converts to managed if you want continuity

Best fit: Research, strategy and diligence work with a deadline.

Pricing

Every engagement is quoted individually, because the honest answer depends on your scope: how many sources, how many records, how often, and how the data reaches you. We scope it with you, run a free pilot on your own sources, and then quote a fixed monthly figure — no per-request metering and no overage billing when volumes move. Request a quote and you will have a number after one call.

Broadcaster catch-up catalogues is usually collected alongside its competitors

Almost nobody buys a single platform in isolation. Broadcaster catch-up catalogues data becomes useful when it sits next to the competitor set on one schema, refreshed on one schedule, so a price index or availability comparison is genuinely like-for-like.

That is what ott & entertainment data covers, and a Broadcaster catch-up catalogues-only engagement can be expanded into it without rebuilding. If you already know you need several platforms, start there instead — it is the same pipeline and usually the better scoping conversation.
