Abstract
Methods, apparatus and computer program products are defined for a hybrid mobile broadcast service. By forming hybrid services from both wide area components and local area components, hybrid services are able to be regionalized so as to meet the needs of the users in given a locale or region. In one example, a wide area video component may be combined with a local area alternate language to provide an alternate language service to a specified geographic region within the mobile broadcast network. In additional aspects, multiple local area infrastructures can be combined to form a regionalized infrastructure for the purpose of delivering the hybrid service across a designated region.
