Abstract
A system for real time audience measurement includes a display, an endpoint device coupled to the display, and a central controller configured to generate a first message that flags a channel of interest from among a plurality of channels that provide content for displaying on the display. The central controller is configured to send the first message to the endpoint device to flag the channel of interest at the endpoint device, determine that the display is tuned to the channel of interest, and generate and send viewership data for the channel of interest to a first entity.
