AFN Now Leadership Dashboard

A decision-focused view of one year of AFN Now consumption: what drives reach, what drives time spent, and where command information is landing.
Bottom line: AFN Now is primarily a live utility, led by sports and news. On-demand viewing adds catalog depth, while GT/service messages and regional CI deliver repeated, short-touch mission reach.

Live vs. On-Demand Strategy

Where Time Is Spent

Leader Readout

Protect live reliability. Live/channel viewing represents 78.5% of hours, so outages or schedule friction hit the core value proposition.
Use VOD surgically. On-demand is best as replay, catalog, and long-tail depth rather than the main consumption mode.
Separate reach from depth. Short service messages can win sessions while live sports and news win time.
Command Information Impact

Europe vs. Pacific CI

CI Efficiency

What Leaders Should See

Europe has the larger CI footprint. EUR-prefix assets account for 86K sessions across 1,773 titles.
Pacific is more diffuse. PAC-prefix content has 31K sessions across 1,664 titles, suggesting more localized reach.
Add metadata next. Tag by command, base, topic, and intent to turn this from counting into decision support.

Service Message Reach

GT/service messages generated 1.35M sessions. They are low-duration, high-frequency touchpoints: useful for readiness, benefits, safety, health, and policy reminders.
Engagement Quadrant

Reach vs. Session Depth

Right means more sessions. Higher means longer average sessions. Bubble size reflects total hours.

How to Use It

High reach, high depth: defend and resource these categories.
High reach, low depth: optimize rotation and message clarity.
Low reach, high depth: niche audiences may justify targeted scheduling.
Low reach, low depth: review placement or retire stale inventory.

Decision Brief

1. Lead With Live

Sports, news, and Prime channels are the strategic center of gravity. Treat live availability and guide accuracy as operational priorities.

2. Make CI Measurable

Require command, base, topic, intended audience, and expiration metadata for every CI item. The audience data becomes far more useful once leaders can filter it by mission owner.

3. Report Two Wins

Separate “time spent” wins from “reach” wins. Sports/news prove sustained attention; service and CI messages prove repeated mission exposure.
