Channels

The Channel Summary report provides the following analytics for one or more live channel(s):

AUDIENCE

Track the total number of peak concurrent viewers. This metric identifies the maximum number of viewers that were simultaneously watching a live channel. If the current report contains multiple live channels, then this metric provides the sum of the peak concurrent viewers for each live channel over the time period identified on the x-axis.

CHANNEL VIEWS

Track the total number of viewers that were watching a live channel. If the current report contains multiple live channels, then this metric provides the total number of viewers for all live channels over the time period identified on the x-axis.

CHANNEL PLAYBACK STATISTICS

Analyze live channel-specific statistics.

Analytic	Details
Channel Description	Indicates the live channel's name.
Channel Hours	Indicates the number of hours that content was played during the live channel.
Channel Views	Indicates the total number of live channel viewers.

ASSET PLAYBACK STATISTICS

Analyze statistics for assets played through your live channel.

Analytic	Details
Channel Description	Indicates the live channel's name.
Asset Description	Indicates the asset's name.
Total Hours Watched	Indicates the number of hours that the asset defined within the Asset Description field was played through this live channel.
Asset Views (Channel)	Indicates the total number of instances that playback of the asset defined within the Asset Description field was initiated through this live channel. This statistic is incremented whenever asset playback is initiated. For the purpose of this statistic, resuming playback of an asset after an ad break counts as a separate view. As a result, multiple views can be generated for the same asset during a single playback session. For example, if a user plays an entire asset that contains 3 ad breaks, then that playback session will generate 4 views.

Analytic	Details
