The system including a television network and an affiliated station, the television network configured to insert a command into a video and transmit the video including the command to the affiliated station, and the affiliated station configured to receive the video including the command from the television network, store the video in the memory, detect the command from the video stored in the memory, retrieve the data from a database based on the command, modify the video using the data to generate a modified video, and transmit the modified video to a display device.

The data may include graphics, content, databases, spreadsheets, tables, websites, news, or other graphical content.

Background

BACKGROUND

In broadcasting television channels, a television network provides the scheduled programming to at least one affiliated station so that the affiliated station can broadcast the programming to the houses of consumers. When providing the scheduled programming to the affiliated stations, a television network follows many standard protocols. As such, it would be helpful to the television network if the television network were able to use the standard protocols to add content and graphics to the programming after the programming has been provided to the affiliated stations. For example, it would be helpful if a television network were able to call and insert local content and graphics into a video using the standard protocol systems for video signals after the video has been provided to the affiliated stations.SUMMARY

The present disclosure is directed to a recall and triggering system for the control of on-air content at remote locations, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims.
