French term or phrase: catalogue
«responsabilité éditoriale», l'exercice d'un contrôle effectif tant sur la sélection des programmes que sur leur organisation, soit sur une grille chronologique, soit sur un **catalogue** dans le cas de services de médias audiovisuels à la demande,

I see precisely what it is, but being way behind the times with my big old telly, I don't know what the correct term should be.

There was an earlier example of both grille and catalogue together and I had chosen programme and schedule. However, I think that I should avoid schedule here as it misses the point of being able to chose when you want.

Thanks

catalogue
Explanation:
Is there any reason why the literal 'catalogue' wouldn't work here? Even in VoD, people surely choose from a catalogue of available programmes?

catalog


Explanation:
Or catalogue... Why not? The term seems to be current in on-demand radio and TV:

And above all, we need to beef up that catalog of iPad-playable shows.

YouTube will double its movie rental catalog by adding 3,000 movies to the service.
