Inventory is not schedule
A large share of the catalogue is press and junket material — red carpets, premiere Q&As, trailers, segments from other companies' shows. Press access to cover something is not a licence to carry it 24/7, and linear plus FAST carriage is exactly what the plan depends on. The largest single strand, SMACK / URL at 200 assets, has no agreement on file. A row-by-row clearance review by qualified counsel is outstanding, and until a row has that record it is inventory, not schedule.

What this file does not establish
A distributor will repeat these numbers back to us, so the ones that do not hold are listed here rather than quietly dropped.
Individual assets
Contradicted
Book states: Individual Assets — 1,200+
The detail tab counts 1,019 assets and states 1,019 as its own total. The product uses 1,019.
Original franchises
Different metric
Book states: Original Franchises — 20+
The detail tab counts 293 franchises. The two are not in conflict: 20+ plainly means originals, 293 counts every catalogue row. Neither is published as the other.
Programming mix
Empty in source
Book states: Programming Mix percentages
Every percentage cell on the dashboard tab is blank. No mix is published.
Rating
Not per title
Book states: Rating — MPAA;TV-MA
The same value appears on all 293 rows, including news and HBCU sports. It is a bulk default, and TV-MA is a TV Parental Guidelines rating rather than an MPAA one. No rating is published per title.
Genre
Not per title
Book states: Genre — Pop, Urban, R&B, Alternative
Identical on all 293 rows. A template default, so it is not published as per-title genre.
Qualified broadcast counsel and music-licensing professionals must approve the final operating model before launch.
