Content Rights
Using the Content Rights feature you can view and export detailed content availability data for Schedule Events.
What are Content Rights?
Content Rights (or Usage Rights) are metadata associated with linear TV schedule events. They define the content's availability for various consumer use cases on a target distribution platform, such as a streaming service or MVPD.
Content Rights are usually specific to one distribution platform, whether it be an MVPD's service or a D2C streaming service, and describe what broadcasters or content owners allow the platform to do with events appearing in the linear TV programming.
Note: Access to Content Rights data requires an entitlement. If you do not see Content Rights data, please contact your Gracenote representative. Availability of Content Rights data also varies by Channel and Schedule Event.
Content Rights
The table below shows Content Rights from Gracenote's controlled vocabulary (CV). Content Rights define content availability and usage for linear TV schedule events. This list will be extended when new use cases are added. Value formats are boolean (True/False).

| Downloading Allowed | Sync & Go, Download to own | The CR defines whether or not Downloading of the content airing in the given linear timeslot to a mobile end user device (e.g. mobile phone, laptop, tablet) is allowed.
