Community-Driven Scheduling

The Open Media Project tools dynamically create program schedules based on rules defined by the station, putting the community in charge of program scheduling. This model encourages community members to get their friends and neighbors to view and vote for their shows in order to receive more visibility on the local cable TV station. Scheduling rules can be based on viewer votes, website views, show language, show theme, program length or any other information that is programmatically provided through the metadata collection process. Viewers can vote for video content online or via SMS text message.
