The EPG is ubiquitous in today’s television - but do you really understand what – and how they can be used and how do they work?

Question and discuss what make an EPG and how you can provide better information about your programmes to your viewers.
Without an EPG – can any one find a channel or programme? Or record it for later viewing?
or access it over over Youview?

To Demystify EPGs we will have experts talking breifly about its 40 year history and fundamentals,

We will concentrate on How channels use EPGs and what information and techniques work.
In simple terms - the practicaliities of creating a good billing for your progammes -
and looks to the operation and future of EPGs and programme promotion in Social media.

Finally a quick look at how the data gets delivered to the UK DTT and Freesat platforms – and why this is different .

The questioning and discussion could spread over the breadth of the media landscape, looking at new and traditional models for Platform, Channel and Programme promotion and the opportunities this gives.
