GSI: Global Show Interest™
The internet has become TVs new EPG – millions of searches are made for shows everyday and only 2% of this online interest arrives at the broadcasters themselves.
Global Show Interest™ (GSI) measures the level of global online attention for a show and creates unique reference points broadcasters can use to capture more of the interest in their content that is currently leaking away.
GSI measures the online volume of interest in shows around the world, including signals such as:
- online demand
- audience engagement
- search visibility
- digital traffic value
- AI discoverability
GSI ratings provide an infastructure broadcasters and content providers can utilise to gain traction within AI systems such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini. GSI statistics help boost broadcasters authority for the content they own within these engines, helping them capture more of the online interest they are currently missing out on.
The Problem With Traditional Ratings
Traditional ratings give an industry standard measurement on viewership within the TV ecosystem. This covers metrics such as:
- viewers
- reach
- broadcast consumption
However, as TV becomes increasingly part of the online world, the show choices they make and increasingly the ownership of the show sits outside of this traditional ecosystem. As a result these ratings increasingly fail to measure:
- digital intent
- online discovery
- global search demand
- audience capture
- AI visibility
Less than a small percentage of audiences searching for shows online end up on broadcaster-owned properties and this will only accelerate as agentic AI is used to navigate the internet.
