Abstract
Systems and methods are provided herein for facilitating the scheduling and controlling the presentation of media content at one or more Venues (e.g., bars, restaurants). The scheduling and presentation is coordinated by a distributed system including a scheduling management server and a local subsystem at the Venue. The system is also configured to receive information from remote devices including electronic media guides as well as user devices enabling venue managers or the public to interact with the system. The system is configured to maintain a content presentation schedule and coordinate presentation at a Venue based on parameters obtained from remote devices including: the requirements of the Venue, requests from Patrons, programming available for presentation and the availability of resources at the venue (e.g., televisions). Moreover, the exemplary system is configured to implement/execute the schedule in view of the specific technological systems and requirements of the Venue's particular media presentation systems.
