摘要： A scheduling order can be designated for the broadcast and playback of multimedia content (e.g., music, news, other audio, advertising, etc) with respect to slots within the scheduling order. The broadcast day is divided into dayparts having blocks of time and including multiple time slots. One of those time slots, a transition period, is adjacent to another daypart. The transition period may be scheduled using a different algorithm for adjacency scheduling to satisfy both horizontal and vertical adjacency requirements. The remaining slots for the schedule can be scheduled from one or more categories of media items associated with the block being scheduled.

摘要： A system and method for controlling a scheduling order per category is disclosed. A scheduling order can be designated for the delivery and playback of multimedia content (e.g., music, news, other audio, advertising, etc.) with respect to particular slots within the scheduling order. The scheduling order can be configured to include a forward order per category or a reverse order per category with respect to the playback of the multimedia content in order to control the scheduling order for the eventual airplay of the multimedia content over a radio station or network of associated radio stations. A reverse scheduling technique provides an ideal rotation of songs when a pre-programmed show interferes with a normal rotation. Any rotational compromises can be buried in off-peak audience listening hours of the programming day using the disclosed reverse scheduling technique.

摘要： A method for use in an automated media scheduling system includes generating a shots representing potential playlists of media items. Each of the shots includes multiple shot positions. A shot-position-dependent score of a current content item being considered for insertion into a particular shot position of a particular shot is generated, and indicates how closely the current content item conforms to a predetermined set of factors associated with the particular shot position of the particular shot. The current content item is inserted into the particular shot position of the particular shot based, at least in part on a comparison of the shot-position-dependent score of the current content item with shot-position-dependent scores of other content items, and the shot positions of each of the shots are populated with eligible content items. One of the shots is selected for scheduling based on aggregate scores of eligible content associated with each individual shot.

摘要： An automated media scheduling system maintains information associating multiple different content triggers with multiple different content adjustment parameters. The content adjustment parameters include a first content trigger associated with a first adjustment parameter specifying a first media channel to be used to deliver first triggered content associated with the first content trigger. The media scheduling system monitors media delivered via a second media channel, different than the first media channel, to determine whether the first content trigger was delivered via the second media channel. In response to determining that the first content trigger was delivered via the second media channel, the media schedule of the first media channel is automatically adjusted in accordance with content adjustment parameters associated with the first content trigger, wherein automatically adjusting includes altering the media schedule of the first media channel to include the first triggered content.

摘要： Triggered content can be broadcast, streamed, displayed, or otherwise presented to consumers in response to identifying triggering content in a media programming log, or through analysis of content that is currently being, or has recently been, broadcast to identify topics or events of interest to an advertiser or broadcaster. Triggered content, which is related to the triggering content, can be provided to consumers via one or more different media platforms. Insertion points for the triggered content can be determined, at least in part, based on a proximity of the triggering content to an available insertion point, such as a commercial set. Previously scheduled content can be bumped in favor of triggered content, such as an ad-song advertisement that includes at least part of an ad song. A traffic system is notified if previously scheduled spots are bumped in favor of triggered content.

摘要： Multiple shots representing potential playlists of content items are generated. Each shot includes multiple shot positions into which potential content items are placed. The shot positions are individually assigned position index values. The position index values assigned to positions in a particular shot form a unique sequences of index values. Eligible content items are identified for insertion into a first shot position. The eligible content items are scored relative to each other, and associated with content index values. Selected eligible content items are placed into particular shot positions based on a comparison of content index values associated with the selected eligible content items to a position index value assigned to the particular shot positions. Shot scores are determined based on aggregate scores of eligible content items placed in shot positions associated with each individual shot, and the shot scores are compared. A broadcast schedule is generated based on the shot-score comparison.

摘要： A Multi-Shot Scheduling System chooses from multiple candidate playlists of positions to select a broadcast playlist. Candidate playlists are generated based upon scoring and selecting content items for the positions through the use of index values. Various embodiments of the Multi-Shot Scheduling System can select broadcast playlists for multiple groups of content and can provide different methods of controlling scheduling performance by restricting the range of candidate playlists from which the best playlist can be selected. the number of candidate playlists to be considered can be determined based on the number of positions in each playlist and a restriction requirement that sets a maximum index value assignable to playlist positions.

摘要： A media programming log is evaluated, and a determination is made that the media programming log includes an ad song scheduled for broadcast within a proximity threshold of a commercial set. The ad song is associated with an advertiser. An evaluation of spot inventory associated with the commercial set is performed, and a determination is made that at least one spot in the commercial set can be used for insertion of an ad-song advertisement. The ad-song advertisement contains at least a portion of a version of the ad song. The ad-song advertisement can then be inserted into at least one spot of a broadcast log, which can be delivered to an audio server for broadcast.
