Broadcast profiling system
Systems and methods are presented for receiving, by a server computer, broadcast data for a content station, determining that the broadcast data comprises a change in content for the content station, determining identifying information associated with the broadcast data, analyzing the identifying information associated with the broadcast data to determine characteristics of the broadcast data, storing the identifying information and the characteristics of the broadcast data, incrementing persona characteristics in a datastore for the content station with the characteristics of the broadcast data, and generating a profile of the content station based on the persona characteristics in the datastore of the content station.
1. A method comprising:
determining first identifying information associated with first broadcast data for a first content station;
analyzing the first identifying information to:
determine at least one of a first genre, first era, or first mood of the first broadcast data associated with a first time context;
store at least one of the first genre, first era, or first mood of the first broadcast data associated with the first time context in a datastore; and
update a first count associated with the first time context;
determining second identifying information associated with second broadcast data for the first content station;
analyzing the second identifying information to:
determine at least one of a second genre, second era, or second mood of the second broadcast data associated with a second time context;
store at least one of the second genre, second era, or second mood of the second broadcast data associated with the second time context in the datastore; and
update a second count associated with the second time context;
generating a content station profile of the first content station based on (1) the stored at least one of the first genre, first era, or first mood of the first broadcast data associated with the first time context and the first count and (2) the stored at least one of the second genre, second era, or second mood of the second broadcast data associated with the second time context and the second count;
comparing a preference included in a user profile with a portion of the content station profile to determine whether the preference included in the user profile satisfies a threshold difference from the portion of the content station profile;
in response to the threshold difference being satisfied, generate a station recommendation for a user associated with the user profile; and
transmitting an instruction to a device associated with the user, the instruction including the station recommendation, the instruction configured to cause a radio pre-set to be adjusted.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the content station profile includes generating a histogram of genres, eras, moods, or other characteristics of the first content station.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first broadcast data includes at least one of: music content, voice content, and video content.
6. The method of claim 1 , further including detecting a change in content in the first broadcast data or the second broadcast data in response to a change from a first song to a second song.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preference of the user profile includes at least one of a genre, era, or mood.
8. The method of claim 1 , further including:
determining a geographic region in which the user is located; and
determining that the first content station transmits content receivable within the geographic region.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein recommending the first content station includes providing a notification to a user interface recommending the first content station to the user.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to determining that the content station profile is not current, purging data for the content station profile.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time context includes at least one of (a) an hour of the day, (b) a day of the week, or (c) a month of the year.
12. A server computer comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable medium coupled with the processor, the computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause a computing device to:
determine first identifying information associated with first broadcast data for a first content station;
analyze the first identifying information to:
determine at least one of a first genre, first era, or first mood of the first broadcast data associated with a first time context;
store at least one of the first genre, first era, or first mood of the first broadcast data associated with the first time context in a datastore; and
update a first count associated with the first time context;
determine second identifying information associated with second broadcast data for the first content station;
analyze the second identifying information to:
determine at least one of a second genre, second era, or second mood of the second broadcast data associated with a second time context;
store at least one of the second genre, second era, or second mood of the second broadcast data associated with the second time context in the datastore; and
update a second count associated with the second time context;
generate a content station profile of the first content station based on (1) the stored at least one of the first genre, first era, or first mood of the first broadcast data associated with the first time context and the first count and (2) the stored at least one of the second genre, second era, or second mood of the second broadcast data associated with the second time context and the second count;
compare a preference included in a user profile with a portion of the content station profile to determine whether the preference included in the user profile satisfies a threshold difference from the portion of the content station profile;
in response to the threshold difference being satisfied, generate a station recommendation for a user associated with the user profile; and
transmit a second instruction to a device associated with the user, the second instruction including the station recommendation, the second instruction configured to cause a radio pre-set to be adjusted.
13. The server computer of claim 12 , wherein the instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause the computing device to generate a histogram of genres, eras, moods, or other characteristics of the first content station.
14. The server computer of claim 12 , wherein the instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor further cause the computing device to,
in response to determining that the first content station is not current, purge data for the first content station profile.
15. The server computer of claim 12 , wherein the first identifying information associated with the first broadcast data includes at least one of: a song identifier, a track unique identifier, a track title, an album title, and an artist name.
16. The server computer of claim 12 , wherein the first broadcast data includes at least one of: music content, voice content, and video content.
17. The server computer of claim 12 , wherein the instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to cause the computing device to detect a change in content in the first broadcast data or the second broadcast data in response to a change from a first song to a second song.
