How to Create a Broadcast TV and Radio Monitor

Broadcast TV and Radio Monitors track spoken content from TV and radio channels using keyword-based search. They are configured within the Keyword monitor type in Social Listening.

Before You Start

The Broadcast TV and Radio option appears as a data source within the Keywords monitor type. The Broadcast TV and Radio package must be enabled for your account. If you do not see it, contact your account manager.

Step 1. Open the Monitor Creation Flow

Go to Social Listening → Monitors. Click New Monitor. Select Keywords from the monitor type options. Enter a monitor name and an optional description.

Step 2. Configure Broadcast TV and Radio

From the list of data sources, check Broadcast TV and Radio to expand its settings.

Enter at least one keyword in the Keywords field. These are the terms the monitor will search for across broadcast content.

Optionally enter Spam Keywords to exclude content containing specific terms you do not want included in your results.

Under Conditions, you can optionally narrow results by Channel Locations (filter by the country of the channel) and Languages (filter by broadcast language). Adding conditions reduces the volume of results returned.

Select one or more channels from the TV and Radio Channels field. At least one channel must be selected to create the monitor.

Step 3. Auto Summary Widget (Optional)

You can enable the Summary By Luci widget to automatically generate AI-powered summaries of the data on your monitor page. This is optional and can be enabled or disabled at any time.

Step 4. Create the Monitor

Click Create Monitor. You will be redirected to the monitor page and data collection will begin according to the platform's collection schedule.
