Abstract: One or both of a metadata associated with content to be integrated into a linear broadcast and a content data comprising content to be integrated into the linear broadcast is received via a network.

Based at least in part on said metadata a content item is determined to be integrated into the linear broadcast in response to the trigger. The determined content item is integrated into the linear broadcast, including by providing to a mixing node associated with the linear broadcast a broadcast-ready audio output.
