A method and apparatus of communicating audio/video programs (e.g., television
content associated with a plurality of channels) includes receiving the audio/video
programs over a transport medium. A stream of ancillary data portions associated
with a plurality of audio/video programs (e.g., a plurality of television channels
or transport stream programs) may be received over a separate delivery mechanism.
The ancillary data may include announcements associated with enhancement data according
to an Advanced Television Enhancement Forum Specification, for example. One of
the audio/video programs is tuned to, with one or more ancillary data portions
located and identified with the tuned audio/video program. A special announcement
in the ancillary data portions delivered to an expected location is used to locate
announcements for the tuned audio/video program.
