Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus for renewing a program are disclosed. The method includes: obtaining programs associated with a set renewed program according to the renewed program; using one or more of the obtained associated programs as successive programs to the renewed program; and renewing the successive programs automatically. The present invention brings the following benefits: Programs in multiple series or programs associated with a program can be renewed automatically, which overcomes the problems in the prior art, namely, separate renewal of every episode of a program series or separate renewal of programs associated with a renewed program, complicated user operations, and poor user experiences.
