Greek term or phrase: λόγω του ελλιπούς τους προγράμματος
Αν για παράδειγμα ένα τοπικό κανάλι έχει φτωχή πολυμέρεια σε genres τότε θα ταξινομηθεί ανάλογα από τις εταιρείες μετρήσεων ή εάν ακόμα ένα μικρό κανάλι τοποθετεί μουσικά video clips για να καλύψει τα κενά των ζωνών του τότε η ταξινόμηση του σε ζώνες σαφώς θα διαφέρει από εκείνη των υπολοίπων καναλιών. Γι’ αυτό άλλωστε πολλές φορές οι εταιρείες δεν συμπεριλαμβάνουν στις μετρήσεις τους μικρής εμβέλειας τοπικά κανάλια λόγω του ελλιπούς τους προγράμματος, αφού κάτι τέτοιο θα σήμαινε για μια εταιρεία μετρήσεων έξτρα κόστος αφού θα αναγκαζόταν να παρακολουθούσε τις διακυμάνσεις καναλιών τα οποία είναι «εκτός» της μεθοδολογικής τους γραμμής.

due to their sparse programming


Explanation:
"Incomplete", implies "unfinished", which is not the case here.
Also, in English, the word "programming" is used for television broadcasting, as opposed to "program".

Google "tv program" and you will only get results in Greek.
Google "tv programming" and your results will show the foreign channels.

because of their deficient programming


Explanation:
This avoids the program/programme dichotomy. I'm too old fashioned to like "due to" here.
