Abstract

This paper presents the popularity analysis performed on the www.lne.es video-on-demand service. Its principal special characteristics are the wide range of subjects, the type of contents offered and the daily introduction of several new videos. All of this and its similarity with the majority of the digital news services make it an interesting case study. The analysis pays attention to all the elements which can influence content popularity such as the subject, the video characteristics and the new content introduction policy. Moreover, the results are checked in different timescales and periods of time.
