The catalog is divided into three major sections, corresponding to different kinds of content.
Sequential series have seasons and episodes. There is often a narrative arc connecting the episodes within a season. Typical examples include crime and drama series.
Examples:
For sequential series, we include all seasons that have at least one episode with current usage rights. If a season is included, we include all the episodes, regardless of current usage rights.
Repeating programs are sequences of instalments, typically published at regular intervals. The most recent instalment is often most relevant to the viewer. Typical examples include news shows and talk shows.
Examples:
For repeating programs we include at most the 100 latest available instalments.
Single programs are standalone productions that have no relation to other programs. Typical examples include movies, concerts and documentaries.
Examples:
For single programs, only programs with current usage rights are included in the catalog.
