Thanks, Richard What would you suggest for marking up the channel itself, i.e. on a channel profile/details page? I came across BroadcastService but it seems to be for more “traditional” broadcasting channels. I couldn’t find a schema that was more suitable for a “channel” that distributes content digitally and on demand rather than broadcast linearly.
