Benefits of technology

This patent describes a system for scheduling talk radio programs based on the preferences of potential participants. The system receives participant preferences including topics and time availability, and schedules a program when a certain number of participants reach predetermined thresholds. The system also sends a notification to the potential participants about the scheduling of the program. The technical effect of this patent is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of talk radio programs by dynamically scheduling them based on the preferences of potential participants.

Problems solved by technology

While providing advertisement based radio programs may appear to be lucrative, putting together many such small talk radio shows in terms of determining relevant topics, and coordinating and scheduling the necessary combination of guests, hosts, and advertisers, may be cost prohibitive for many terrestrial and Internet radio stations.

Abstract

Methods and systems for dynamically scheduling a talk radio program include registering potential participants of a talk radio program service and receiving participant preferences for each of the potential participants, wherein the participant preferences include at least one topic of interest and a time availability; scheduling a talk radio program for production when a combination the participant preferences reach predetermined thresholds; and sending the potential participants a notification of the scheduling of the talk radio program.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 326,670 titled, “Dynamic Talk Radio Program Scheduling,” filed on Dec. 3, 2008, the entire disclosure of which is here incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]With the popularity of MP3 type music players and smart mobile phones, talk radio programming for both terrestrial and Internet radio is expected to grow as an alternative to current levels of music content and associated royalties. Specifically, with Internet radio, small listener audience talk radio is beginning to emerge, allowing low-cost entry of hosts and radio shows into the market. These small radio shows may begin to mimic followings much like blogs and YouTube™. New business models (primarily advertisement based) are beginning to emerge to monetize consumption of this self-generated content. For example, revenue from Internet talk radio advertising has been forecasted to grow from ...
