STANDARDIZATING EPG METADATA ACROSS THE BROADCAST ECOSYSTEM
Click this link to access the paper: From Fragmentation to Standardization: A Recommended Practice for EPG Metadata in the U.S. Broadcast Ecosystem.
This paper outlines recommended practices for standardizing Electronic Program Guide (EPG) metadata across the U.S. broadcast ecosystem. It addresses current inconsistencies in program information, channel identification, and metadata synchronization that impact guide accuracy, interoperability, audience measurement, and content discovery.
Drawing on TitanTV’s experience, the document defines a framework for consistent, automation-ready metadata—covering standardized field usage, clear ownership, and alignment across ATSC 1.0 (PSIP), ATSC 3.0 (ESG), and third-party distribution systems. The goal is to improve metadata accuracy, ensure cross-platform consistency, support reliable measurement, and enhance the overall consumer guide experience.
