Viewing a list of your excluded channels

As a content publisher, you can view a list of channels you've excluded from the list that Linear Content Distribution subscribers can access, but that are still streaming content for your company's use. From the list, you can view subscribers (with a status of their reservation), health of the channel, and more.

To view a list of your excluded channels:

  1. From the main menu, select Orders > Linear Channel Distribution.

    Media portal lists the available channels you can subscribe to. If you're a content subscriber, you can hover over the blue arrow(s) to the left of the Provider column to view your existing subscription reservations for that channel.

  1. From the View list, select Excluded Channels.

    Media portal lists the channels you've published, but excluded from the list of channels. In the column to the left of the Reservation Id column, Media portal shows the health of your channel: online (green dot), impaired (yellow dot), degraded (orange dot), offline (red dot), or unknown (gray dot). Channels with a blue arrow in the Reservation Id column have subscribers. Hover over the blue arrow to view a list of subscribers as well as a status for the reservation.
