By combining this data with viewing rates, data from VOD platforms and social media, we can show how people appreciate content, right down to the level of a scene and event.Our approach is generic and based on academic, media-aesthetic analyses. Yet, it does justice to the individuality of each format. We create network of connected scenes of any format, series, show or film and make all desired parts measurable in real time. Our interfaces and data visualizations are simple so that not only data scientists can work with them. ​Creative producers can also add relevant data and follow the format closely.

    SBS stands for Scandinavian Broadcasting System. When the SBS Broadcasting Group started expanding outside of Scandinavia in 1995, one of the first countries where they set up a channel was the Netherlands with SBS 6. SBS 6 was the third Dutch commercial TV station after RTL 4 and RTL 5. SBS 6 launched on 28 August 1995. When SBS 6 was launched, they were in a tough competition with the channel Veronica, which started as a commercial station at the same time. Both SBS 6 and Veronica wanted to be on channel 6 of the viewer's television. The SBS Broadcasting Group expanded their Dutch channel list with NET 5 on 1 March 1999. In 2003 Veronica was added to the list of channels. The German ProSiebenSat.1 Media took over the parent company, SBS Broadcasting Group, on 27 June 2007. In 2011, all of SBS's activities in the Netherlands (through SBS Broadcasting B.V.), including the three TV stations (SBS 6, NET 5 and Veronica), the two TV guides (Veronica Magazine and Totaal TV), production, design and text activities were sold to a joint venture between Sanoma Media Netherlands (67%) and Talpa Media Holding (33%).
