Whenever you turn on cable TV, do you notice that the channel sort has changed? The channels that were originally ranked in front seemed to have been moved back several positions, and the newly inserted channels seemed to have never met each other; if you also use cable TV in a hotel when you are on a business trip, you will also find that the arrangement of cable TV programs in different places is also different, and the sorting rules of each channel are completely different. So do you know what the secret behind these seemingly simple channel sorting?
1. First of all, localities have their own plans for channel arrangement, which has little to do with TV channel management. Its orchestration permissions are controlled by cable TV. Although there is no right to manage what content is played by various TV stations, local radio and television network companies have the right to "life and death" to sort channels. Simply put, put your channel first or 100th, and fully watch how cable TV manages the channels.
2. Secondly, cable TV seems to be arbitrary in its management of channels, and even a bit messy, but they still have certain arrangement rules. In principle, each channel of the station and its own TV channel are placed at the front. For example, each channel of CCTV is generally arranged at the front channel number, and the channels in this province are connected to each channel of CCTV. There is no specific layout for the subsequent channel sorting, and it depends entirely on business operations.
3. After the set-top box of cable TV is started, it will be positioned at the starting channel number, such as 200, followed by 201, 202, 203... According to the user's viewing habits, since there are many channels on cable TV, there are at least 50 to 100, or even more than 100 channels. With so many channels, users will basically not remember the corresponding numbers of the TV channels they often watch. Therefore, after starting the computer, they will watch them one by one from the default initial channel until they find the TV channel they like. Therefore, if you want to "expose" more times in front of users, it is best to be in the forefront.
4. The viewing mode of cable TV is easy to guide users to choose the front channel, and users will stay for a longer time on the channels arranged in the front, so naturally, the higher the ratings of the channel, and the lower the ratings of the channel. Do you never adjust the channel to the last few? Even if they may be able to provide great content, you are attracted by the dozen or so channels ahead early.
5. The arrangement of channels leads to different viewership rates, which will inevitably lead to various channels seeking higher channel positions. For various TV stations, the smaller the channel number indicates that the higher their ratings, and the ratings of programs played by these high ratings will also become higher. The high ratings of programs will be higher when the advertising price is placed on this TV station, and the commercial attributes of the channel position are reflected in this way.
Therefore, when we use the remote control to continuously jump channels, wonderful commercial value occurs. Every time the cable TV is turned on, it stays on the default channel, which is the initial channel; you always start from the default channel and jump backward to find content you are interested in; it is easy for you to find content you like in the first 50 or so channels; you will almost never arrive in channels after 50. The channel number of cable TV realizes commercial value in this way.
