Abstract
A processor receives a media rating associated with a first media program and metadata associated with the first media program. The processor stores the metadata and the media rating associated with the first media program in a local database. The processor receives a second media program absent a media rating. The processor determines metadata associated with the second media program absent the media rating. The processor searches the local database based on the metadata associated with the second media program absent the parental control rating. The processor matches the metadata associated with the second media program absent the media rating to the metadata of the first media program including the media rating, and the processor applies the media rating of the first media program to the second media program.
