Abstract

A method of generating media programming includes the steps of providing by an aggregator to a client a list of feeds; receiving by the aggregator from the client a selection of one of the feeds; receiving by a publisher from the aggregator the feed selection; and providing to the client media programming based on a publisher-initiated feed responsive to the feed selection and including media elements selected and concatenated with the feed responsive to the client information.

Claims (9)

1. A method of generating customized media programming, comprising:

providing by an aggregator, to a client device associated with a user, a list of media feeds available from at least one publisher, wherein each said media feed comprises a plurality of media elements selected from audio media elements, visual media elements, and combinations thereof;

receiving by the aggregator from the client device a selection identifying at least one of the media feeds;

providing, to a publisher from the aggregator, the media feed selection received from the client device;

analyzing, by the publisher, user information included in the media feed selection;

inserting into media programming based on a publisher-initiated feed responsive to the media feed selection, based on the user information, an element based on at least one of positioning, frequency, type, demographic targeting, geo-targeting and psychographic targeting;

providing, to the client device, the media programming; and

dynamically updating the element in the media programming responsive to additional user information provided by the aggregator.
