The international success of local TV productions from Canada
We define “content travelability” as the global popularity of a title relative to its home market. Based on this measure, we are able to make the following observations:
- Unusually, Canadian content is not most in-demand in Canada; the USA actually has 13% higher demand for Canadian titles than Canada itself.
- Canadian content travels exceptionally well. The global travelability is 29.9%, over 10% more than the content travelability of American content, and the highest travelability we have observed out of all 10 markets in this report.
- The top markets for Canadian content are located in four continents: North America, LATAM, Europe and Oceania.
The most popular television subgenres in Canada
Parrot Analytics tracks tens of thousands of TV shows in 100+ markets across all television distribution platforms. This enables us to make the following observations concerning subgenres for Canada:
- The largest demand share is for sitcoms, which accounts for 9.3% of all expressed demand in this market, 0.5% more than the global average.
- Crime dramas, superhero and fantasy titles are all high-demand subgenres, but have a lower demand share in Canada than the global average.
