Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention partition digital media content. One or more processors identify an episode of digital media content based on subscription preferences of a user. The one or more processors respond to a determination that a duration of the episode is less than or equal to a combined duration of two free time slots in an electronic calendar of a user by partitioning the episode into at least two segments. A first episode segment has a duration that is less than or equal to a duration of the first free time slot. A second episode segment has a duration that is less than or equal to the duration of the second free time slot. The one or more processors associate, in the electronic calendar, the first episode segment with the first time slot and the second episode segment with the second time slot.
