Media Analytics: What are you watching...?

I have been thinking to quantify the political temperature of the country for quite a while. Eventually I got some time this week to start with above visualisation.Once again hats off to Google for providing such lovely tools which helped me to accomplish this idea.I would also love to thank to some other websites providing me the data to plot on this chart.

The data I have plotted on the chart is from three different web sources.These three websites are providing online recorded political talk shows on their sites.Each of the these websites are getting between 30,000 to 40,000 hits per day.Data collected is aggregated on different levels and then finally aggregated data is being fed to Google API to display the results.Time series chart will be populated and updated on daily basis. Plotted time series is showing the number of viewers each political talk show getting everyday.I have selected top 8 talk shows in terms of their viewers count.

Along with updating this chart I am hoping to add more visualisations in the days to come.
