Takeaways

Frequent, timely uploads

Comedy Central Asia should upload videos more frequently rather than leaving their YouTube channel inactive - this will help them retain loyal audiences. 

A weekly recap of the shows should be given to complement what is airing. There needs to be consistent programming & recap.

Likes to dislikes ratio

Dislikes are indeed a form of engagement, but we want to shift our focus to positive engagement (i.e. for every 1 dislike there are 190 likes) and Comedy Central Asia (currently lowest among all) should aim to work on their content and engagement to improve their numbers

Correlation between upload frequency and average views

There seems to be very weak correlation between a channel’s upload frequency and average views. Ellen uploads 14-40 videos every week and has 1.2M views on average, while nigahiga uploads 1-2 times a week and manages 10.7M views on average. It is also unlikely that subscriber count affects average views either since Ellen has more subscribers than nigahiga. Comedy Central should note - quality over quantity.
