Successes

Asian representation

Comedy Central Asia has been successful in representing Asians to tailor to the preferences of Asian audiences, making it more appealing and relatable for them. This can be seen by the feature of Asian online personalities and comedians such as Jennifer Hsiung, Jason Leong, Ryan Sylvia (Night Owl Cinematics), Danny Cho, Keren Bala Devan.

Short snippets of videos

Short snippets of videos are uploaded as a preview so audiences can decide to watch the full video if the previewed content appeals to them.

Failures

Not everyone is subscribed to the TV channel

How Comedy Channel Asia works is that they upload previews of episodes on their YouTube channel and the full episode will not be made available on YouTube - those interested must subscribe to the TV channel to watch the episode. However, not everyone may be subscribed to the TV channel. On top of that, some people just want their content to be available on YouTube. They do not wish to go through the hassle of going out of this platform to watch content. In this process, potential audiences may be lost.

No proper engagement

There is no proper engagement as there is no full-length content that engages with users (most videos last 30-45 seconds, an average of 54 seconds per video).

Infrequent and inconsistent uploads

When a channel uploads infrequently, audiences tend to “forget” about them, resulting in dormancy and disengagement. 

Not everyone subscribes to the TV channel

Low engagement with audience

Unattractive content quality

Lack of new videos, inconsistent upload frequencies
