In a system and method for providing a television broadcast that displays
different content for different viewers, a pool of content items, or
particular items from a pool of content items is/are integrated with a
signal for a television program. The combined signal is transmitted or
broadcast in any suitable way, such as by satellite, antenna, cable, or
the like. Once the combined signal has been transmitted, or while the
signal is being transmitted, different items from the pool of content
items are displayed to different viewers. The items may be displayed to
viewers during a broadcast of a pre-recorded television program. Rules
may be integrated into the combined signal governing how and when items
from the pool of content items are displayed. The rules may also govern
which items from the pool of content items are displayed. A return
channel may be provided so that a viewer may communicate to a content
provider.
