Gracenote Data Hub
A view into global streaming video content
Get an inside look at the video content that keeps streaming audiences pushing play.
This resource provides granular information about the content distributed by six global SVOD services (Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix and Paramount+) and more than 2,100 FAST channels.
The Q2 2026 update includes the addition of SVOD data for HBO Max. As a result, year-over-year comparison data in the SVOD portion of the Data Hub does not include HBO Max. Until HBO Max data has been included for a year, it will only be presented for individual quarters.
With the inclusion of HBO Max, the Data Hub tracks 31% more content across SVOD services than it did a year ago. Without HBO Max, the increase is 16%. Across content types, the inclusion of HBO Max had the biggest impact on sports, which now accounts for 5% of all content across the six providers.
Outside of SVOD, audiences have 2,120 FAST channels available to them, up 19% over the past year. Outside of general entertainment, sports, news and reality are the most prominent genres at the channel level. The number of channels across these genres have increased by 12%, 57% and 32% over the past year, respectively. In total, global FAST channels now distribute more than 220,000 titles across movies, shows and sports, up 17% over the past year.

Frequently asked questions
What is The Gracenote Data Hub?
The Gracenote Data Hub is a set of data visualizations that present the content volume of subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services and free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels. The data for the hub is derived from Gracenote Global Video Data, the industry’s most comprehensive database of TV show and movie information. The data visualizations present the composition of the industry’s leading SVOD catalogs and FAST channels. It is updated quarterly.
Which SVOD providers are included, and how were they selected?
Gracenote launched its Data Hub in November 2024 with five SVOD providers: Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix and Paramount+. In May 2026, we added HBO Max. These six U.S.-based services have scaled to distribute video globally and are tracked in at least nine countries within Gracenote’s video database.
Why is YouTube not included?
YouTube has several video services, but none are classified as subscription video-on-demand services for traditional television and movie content, which is the focus of the Gracenote Data Hub.
- The primary YouTube offering (YouTube Main) is an ad-supported video sharing service for anyone who would like to upload and share video content.
- YouTube TV is a virtual multichannel video programming distributor (vMVPD) that provides live, scheduled linear programming without a traditional cable subscription (e.g., ABC, NBC, AMC, FOX, etc).
- YouTube Premium is an ad-free video-on-demand service that includes content from YouTube Main and YouTube Music.
Why are Tubi and Pluto not included?
The Gracenote Data Hub includes global SVOD providers. Tubi and Pluto TV each operate two streaming offerings: free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) and ad-supported video-on-demand (AVOD), both of which can be accessed without any subscription or registration.
Is Hulu included in Disney+?
Yes. Hulu is a content hub within Disney+ as well as a stand-alone app in the U.S. Our data is comprehensive of all of the sub-catalogs within Disney+, and therefore we do not count the content in the stand-alone Hulu app in the U.S.
Is ‘Star’ included in Disney+?
Yes. Star is a content hub within Disney+ in certain markets. Just like Hulu, our Disney+ catalog data includes data from the Star sub-catalog.
What is in the “sports” portion of the distribution data?
There are three program types in the sports data that are currently available through SVOD:
- Live team events: games, matches, competitions.
- Live non-team events: games, matches, competitions for individuals.
- ‘Other’ sports programming: documentaries and other sports-related programming.
Does this data hub expose companies that don’t meet local content creation regulations?
No. The data does not disclose the number of programs and movies that each provider offers in each country or group of countries. The data hub only presents percentages that are based on the aggregation of the total output from all included providers in all included countries.
What is a FAST channel?
Free ad-supported television channels offer scheduled, linear TV programming (TV shows, movies, sports programming) through an internet connection. Individual channels are independently curated and distributed through services like Pluto TV and the Roku Channel. Some FAST channels are branded according to content owners, such as ABC News Live, some are curated by specific program title, such as Johnny Carson TV and others are curated by genre, such as Crime 360 and Classic Cinema.
Which FAST platforms are identified in the Gracenote Data Hub?
None. The Gracenote Data Hub does not identify individual FAST services (e.g., Pluto TV, Tubi, etc.). The Data Hub aggregates individual FAST channels and the programming they offer, much of which is available across multiple FAST services. Very few FAST channels are exclusive to individual platforms and services. Viewers, for example, can watch the NFL Channel, MLB Channel and PGA Tour Channel on Pluto TV, Tubi and The Roku Channel.

Content composition

Genre trends in content
In today’s overly fragmented world of TV services, nothing streamlines search and discovery journeys like standardized, enriched genre information. To help on this front, Gracenote maps every title in its SVOD library with just the right genre classification—or several (we’ve got 315 in total). That way, when viewers are looking for the latest romantic drama, they don’t mistakenly pick a title that’s actually a crime drama.

Read as: 9.8% of the content across the five providers has an action genre.
Mood trends in content
As a leader in entertainment metadata, Gracenote wants to fulfill every viewer’s content journey. Our industry-leading video descriptor data extends well beyond program genre to help better connect audiences with content they’ll love. To that end, we developed 300 mood descriptors to further refine search and discovery journeys to keep viewers engaged.
