Abstract
In some embodiments, a method receives a plurality of viewing policies for a media program. The plurality of viewing policies include an action to perform for the media program and an audience. The action for at least a portion of the plurality of viewing policies is reviewed to determine a first viewing policy that includes the action of sending a base content stream for the media program. The method selects a first audience associated with the base content stream in the first viewing policy and one or more second audiences associated with actions in one or more second viewing policies. An audience definition for the media program defining one or more restrictions on viewing the media program is generated. The one or more restrictions are based on the first audience and the one or more second audiences. Then, the method stores the audience definition for the media program.
