Abstract

There is provided a system including a non-transitory memory storing an executable code and a hardware processor executing the executable code to provide access toa plurality of media contents in a content repository, wherein each of the plurality of media contents has a rating, receive a rating input from a user device assigning a user rating to a first media content of the plurality of media contents, update the rating of the first media content based on the rating input, if the rating of the first media content exceeds a threshold, add the first media content to a programming queue of a broadcast channel, and transmit the first media content to a plurality of user devices on via the broadcast channel.

Background

Claims

1. A system comprising: a non-transitory memory storing an executable code; and a hardware processor executing the executable code to: provide access to a plurality of media contents in a content repository, wherein each of the plurality of media contents has a rating; receive a rating input from a user device assigning a user rating to a first media content of the plurality of media contents; update the rating of the firstmedia content based on the rating input; if the rating of the first media content exceedsa threshold, add the first media content to a programming queue of a broadcast channel; receive an editing input from an editor for editing the first media content; edit the firstmedia content according to the editing input; and transmit the edited first media contentto a plurality of user devices via the broadcast channel; wherein the editing input includes at least one of inserting an additional media content into the first media content andremoving a portion of the media content. 11. A method for use with a system including a non-transitory memory and a hardware processor, the method comprising: providing, using thehardware processor, access to a plurality of media contents in a content repository, wherein each of the plurality of media contents has a rating; receiving, using the hardware processor, a rating input from a user device assigning a user rating to a first media content of the plurality of media contents; updating, using the hardware processor, the rating of the first media content based on the rating input; if the rating of the first media content exceeds a threshold, adding, using the hardware processor, the first media content to a programming queue of a broadcast channel; receiving an editing input from an editor for editing the first media content; editing the first media content according to the editing input; and transmitting, using the hardware processor, the edited first media content to aplurality of user devices via the broadcast channel; wherein the editing input includes at least one of inserting an additional media content into the first media content and removing a portion of the media content.
