Abstract

Various embodiments select advertisements for delivery to at least one mass media streaming device at a given location and time slot.

The content is filtered based on time slot and physical location. A set of typical topics for a location and time slot are determined. A subset of advertisements is selected from a set of available advertisements based on the set of typical topics. The subset of advertisements is delivered to the at least one mass media streaming device. The mass media streaming device may be a television. A set of current topics for the location and time slot may be determined and aggregated with the set of typical topics. The subset of advertisements may be selected from the set of available advertisements based on the aggregated set.
