Abstract: A method and system for managing streamed videos is disclosed. The system allows video owners to upload videos to a network connected video repository. Channel creators are able to select videos which have been uploaded to the network connected video repository and create custom designed channels. A play schedule is created, either by the channel creator or by an automated system. Viewers of channels may access the channel online. Accessing the channel allows video to be streamed based on the play schedule, individually to each viewer. Video is streamed according to the play schedule and when the channel viewer accesses the channel. Various advertisement based compensation systems are used to compensate channel creators and video owners.
