Understanding Program Access Status
Program access describes whether the program is accessible by Viewers. Each program has a number of attributes that define whether the program is available to Viewers, and if so, under what conditions. These are:

•Parent Channel's Status
•Start & End Listing Dates
•Private Program
•Group Association
•Encode Only (never available)
Based on all the attributes, a program can be:
•Available: Accessible by any Viewer, authenticated or not.
•Incomplete: Program requires additional information before it can be used.
