Pixalate Launches OpenEPG™ Index 2.0: Weekly Streaming TV Rankings Covering 675,000+ Shows, Expanding Free Public Rankings to Top 1,000 Show Titles LONDON, Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pixalate, a global ad fraud and privacy compliance platform, today released OpenEPG™ Index 2.0, introducing weekly programmatic content rankings and expanding its free public database from the top 100 to the top 1,000 streaming TV shows.

Data from the debut weekly benchmark for the week ending November 1, 2026, highlights dual seasonal surges across open programmatic environments:

Weekly data shows how fast these shifts happen. Halloween titles went from 1% to 24% of CTV ads in eight weeks, and election reach peaked the week before Election Day. OpenEPG 2.0 tracks these changes show by show from open programmatic bidstream data, with no publisher integration and no waiting on post-campaign panels.

About Pixalate OpenEPG™ Index 2.0

Built on Pixalate’s OpenEPG DB™ 1.0 engine, the upgraded platform maps 675,000+ shows across 16,100+ channels and 7,322 apps on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Apple TV, Android TV, Android, and iOS.

Linear and streaming TV audience measurement historically relied on direct publisher integration, content logs, or automated content recognition (ACR). In open programmatic Connected TV (CTV) and mobile environments, bid requests arrive without show titles, leaving ad buyers blind to specific program placements. The OpenEPG™ engine resolves show-level metadata directly from standard OpenRTB bidstream Bundle IDs in real time, requiring zero publisher-side SDKs, code, or opt-in.
