The document discusses the ReTV project which aims to optimize TV content repurposing and republication across online channels using TV metadata. It outlines several key services including:
1. Collecting and annotating TV metadata from various sources to power predictive and recommendation services.
2. Developing prediction models for audience metrics, content success, and scheduling based on metadata and external event knowledge.
3. Creating tools to repurpose TV content like clips and summaries for different online channels based on predicted popularity.
4. Developing recommendation services like a chatbot and personalization platform to promote optimized TV content to audiences.

3. Viewing of linear broadcast TV is
decreasing while time spent with digital
content on Catchup TV, on-demand OTT
or social media rises.
Broadcaster audiences are fragmented
across digital channels and digital channels
are full of competing content offers for
their limited attention.
The TV industry is still catching up with
their online competition in the use of Web
technology: interaction, tracking,
personalisation and targeting.

Events in predictive analytics
1. We have analysed what types of events affect TV audience patterns
2. We have associated past events with TV audience variations
3. We can use these associations in training a model for predicting future TV audience variations
1. Future events need to be comparable with past events
2. In audience prediction, we will need knowledge about where & when events are broadcast

2. Keep consumers engaged with the content when they would otherwise not be
