Abstract The node degrees, weighted node degrees, node hyperdegrees, hyperedge degrees, hyperedge hyperdegrees, average distance and clustering coefficient are proposed in the paper. TV programs are defined as nodes and broadcasting time periods are defined as hyperedges. By using hypernetwork analysis of television programs competitive relationships, we find that the cumulative probability distributions can be described by an exponential distribution. It shows that random factors result in the formation of the hypernetwork. The competition of the supernetwork can be better described by weighted node degrees. The average distance is small and the clustering coefficient is large. These parameters conform to the characteristics of small-world network. These topological characteristics may be useful for the studies of competitive hypernetworks. The methods proposed can also be used for other empirical studies.
