A service provider broadcast system and method are described. The method
includes acquiring network service information regarding broadcast
service content to be broadcast by a broadcast service system over a
predetermined period. Using the network service information, a composite
content list is created, including meta-data describing service provider
content available from the service provider system and the broadcast
service content. The composite content listed is broadcast to client
systems, which in turn, provide ratings for the service provider and
broadcast service content described by the composite content list. Using
the received ratings, the service provider system selects a portion of
the broadcast service content and generates a broadcast schedule for the
selected content. The broadcast schedule is then broadcast to the client
systems to enable the client systems to store one or more of the content
data files from the selected portion of the broadcast service content.
