Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing interactive live broadcast programming. A system includes an ingest server, a show creation server, and a streaming server. The ingest server is configured to receive, from at least one client device, one or more user generated responses to interaction prompts associated with a live broadcast program and process the received one or more responses for content and/or compatibility with the live broadcast program and store the processed response in a database. The show creation server is configured to generate a segment to be added to an interactive live program by generating a playlist. The streaming server is configured to transcode the interactive live program with the segment into at least one format suitable for display on the display associated with the client device, and transmit the transcoded interactive live program to the respective client device for display.
