Nikki Frangella, a programming professional at Pluto TV, shares her journey from intern to leading a programming team. At Pluto, she curates channels, particularly in anime, drama, and home and food categories, embracing a human-centered approach to content selection. With 350 channels and 22 categories, her role requires diverse skills and collaboration with partners. The growth of Pluto TV post-acquisition by Viacom illustrates the evolving landscape of streaming, making it essential for programmers like her to adapt and innovate.
I joined Pluto TV almost 10 and a half years ago, right after the company launched, as an intern studying TV and film writing at Emerson College.
Both categories and channels are curated by humans. I oversee the anime, drama, and home and food categories. There are about 22 categories total and 350 different channels.
