Who makes this, and how it gets paid for.

Who runs it

PickMyStream is published by Artists & Robots. Spectrum pays Artists & Robots to build and run the site, and reviews how Spectrum’s own plans and prices appear on it. Which titles, scores and schedules appear comes from the sources below.

How it is paid for

The site is free to use. Spectrum pays Artists & Robots a fee to build and run the site, and a fee when a reader clicks through to Spectrum from a link here. There are no display ads and we do not sell your information.

The fees do not change the facts the site shows. Which apps carry a title, what is leaving when, and how a show scores all come from the sources below, and title pages and search show them the same way whether or not a Spectrum plan includes the app. Some featured spots, such as the picks on the home page and New today on Tonight, highlight titles on apps included with Spectrum and are labeled that way. Every link that sends a reader to Spectrum’s sales pages carries a paid-link note and is marked as sponsored so search engines treat it that way too; the spectrum.net sign-in links for existing customers are not paid links. The Privacy Policy and Terms of Use spell out the rest.

Where the data comes from

• TMDB

  Titles, posters, cast, community ratings, and which US streaming apps carry each title. Observed daily.

• MDBList

  Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, IMDb, and Letterboxd scores, shown side by side on title pages.

• TVmaze

  Tonight’s network schedules and what is new on streaming today.

• TV Media

  Channel lineups by zip code and provider for the Tonight page.

• What’s Leaving

  Advance notice of titles leaving a service. Every date on Leaving soon links to its source.

• Spectrum

  Plan names, prices, and included apps come from Spectrum’s published offers and carry Spectrum’s own disclaimers, word for word.

A figure never claims a period the data does not cover. When a source is down, the page says so instead of showing a stale number. Title pages with no US streaming availability are kept out of search results until one appears.

The concierge

The search box on Explore is an AI assistant. It only recommends titles it has looked up in the sources above, and it says so when it cannot find something. It does not invent release dates, availability, or reviews.

Something wrong?

If a date, price, or availability is off, tell us here. Corrections are checked against the source and applied site-wide, not just to one page.
