The American film and television industry supports 2.01 million jobs, pays $202 billion in wages, and includes more than 162,000 businesses, according to the Motion Picture Association. With that much content, labor, budget, and distribution activity in motion, teams need a faster way to read title performance without rebuilding reports every week. The Film and Television Dashboard in Google Sheets gives studios, broadcasters, streamers, distributors, production teams, and media analysts a ready-to-use reporting workbook for titles, live status, revenue, budgets, margins, ratings, viewers, episodes, genres, platforms, prime slots, releases, runtime, and audience segments.

Opportunities for Improvement
Click here to purchase the Film and Television Dashboard in Google Sheets.
This dashboard is intentionally spreadsheet-based, so it does not include automatic streaming platform connectors, rights management workflows, or production schedule automation. Teams with live platform APIs, royalty accounting, multi-currency finance systems, or enterprise content operations may eventually need a data warehouse or specialized media SaaS. For many small and mid-sized media teams, though, this template is a practical first reporting layer.
Best Practices
- Keep the Data Sheet column order consistent before adding new records.
- Use one naming convention for titles, platforms, genres, audience segments, and release status.
- Check blank dates, duplicate title names, unusual budgets, and outlier viewer counts before review meetings.
- Separate final reporting copies from working copies if several team members are editing at the same time.
- Use Google Drive permissions carefully. Google’s document sharing guide explains how access settings affect who can view or edit files.
