Abstract

Systems and methods are described for forecasting media play on a broadcast station. The technique involves collecting media play data from a broadcast station for a period just ended. The collected media play data is used to update historical media play data for the broadcast station. The updated historical media play data is then used to forecast spot inventory for the broadcast station for a next time period.
