Abstract: A method includes identifying content displayed by a content presentation system associated with a physical environment. A user device is detected within the physical environment associated with the content presentation system. Responsive to detecting the user device, information, associated with the content, is transmitted to the user device. Responsive to detecting the user device, an identifier corresponding to the content is stored in association with a profile related to the user device.

Abstract: Sharing media content among families of broadcast stations includes receiving information relating to media content from families of broadcast stations, storing the information such that the information is accessible to at least two of the families of broadcast stations via a computer network, receiving a query for specific media content from a broadcast station, searching the stored information in accordance with the query to identify the specific media content; and enabling the broadcast station to access to the specific media content if the specific media content is identified among the stored information.

Abstract: A system including a plurality of software-controlled broadcast stations each having at least one media asset, and a controller to allow a user to link a first media asset of a first one of the stations to a second media asset of a second one of the stations. When the user schedules the first station to broadcast the first media asset at a specified time, the controller automatically causes the second station to broadcast the second media asset at the specified time.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a plurality of software-controlled broadcast stations, each station capable of operating in a leader mode or a follower mode during a simulcast. Each station in the follower mode is configured to broadcast the same programs as a station in the leader mode during common program periods, and to selectively broadcast programs that are different from those broadcast by the station in the leader mode during independent program periods.

Abstract: A method of developing a visual/audio campaign for delivery to a device having a radio wave receiver is disclosed. The method includes a managing node receiving broadcast specific information from a plurality of radio stations, the managing node receiving broadcast non-specific information, the managing node creating the visual/audio campaign at least partly by matching an item of broadcast non-specific information with an item of broadcast specific information, and delivering the visual/audio campaign to the device via radio waves.

Abstract: The present invention utilizes customer/user generated data and market available data to provide a framework and guidance for a seller to price advertising time and space for programs offered by a media outlet, and to project future demand for advertising time and space. The invention determines the number available advertising spots (avails) that exist in a market, the projected rating of the avail, the historical advertising avail sales price, and a reasonable target price for each avail. It utilizes avail request information from individual advertising agency clients, sellout data from broadcast media, together with ratings and projections from published rating services (such as Neilsen and CMR) to produce a series of reports that provide needed information to create projections of future inventory, demand and pricing ranges. The reports include avail demand and analysis reports, market blueprint reports, market CPP tolerance reports, pricing grids, and market share trend reports.
