A system and method for distributing content for a broadcaster on a
communications network. The system may include a database operable to
maintain the content for the broadcaster, the broadcaster being a
subscriber for use of at least one visual appliance. A user interface may
be in communication with the database and be operable (i) to provide a
self-servicing scheduler for the broadcaster to form a playlist of the
content and (ii) to distribute the playlist and associated scheduled
content across the communications network. A server may be operable to
receive the playlist and scheduled content associated therewith via the
communications network. A visual appliance may be in communication with
the server and be operable to receive and display the scheduled content.
