This meeting aims to develop a stronger content strategy for PBS Primetime, with the goal of increasing audience numbers, improving viewer retention, and attracting a larger membership base. The focus will be on leveraging content assets, optimizing scheduling, and enhancing audience flow to maximize time spent viewing (TSV) and frequency. Key measurements include cume, frequency, and TSV. The desired outcome is to create a new schedule architecture that better serves the American public, strengthens the value proposition for underwriters, and reduces costs. Join us in Orlando, Florida on May 16, 2011, to shape the future of PBS Primetime programming.
