Can we please remind you of the system for delivering billings and programme titles, especially when considering how delivering the correct Metadata information helps with the prominence and searchability of our content across our publishing platforms.

Can you please ensure that individual and episodic billings are delivered for every episode, including all childrens programming - whilst considering:

EPG Titles: 35 characters only (including spaces)

General Billings: Maximum of 500 characters Welsh (includes spaces) and 500 characters English (includes spaces)

EPG Billings: 190 characters across both Welsh and English

Billings with PAC: Please deliver all billings through the PAC System

Titles and Programme Sub-Titles: These are needed for the Listings/EPG/Clic and iPlayer. Sub-titles are helpful to the viewer in terms of searchability. It's worth considering short, catchy titles, as well as the naming trends of 'Title: Subtitle.'
