Abstract
A method (600) for a system (200) for delivering a content offering (102) containing one or more advertisements (331) includes identifying one or more triggers (115,321,117,118) indicating that one or more advertisement avails (326,327,328) occur in the content offering. After advertisements are obtained, portions (332,333) of the advertisements are multiplexed with portions (334,335) of the content offering occurring between a trigger and a corresponding advertising avail. The portions of the advertisements are delivered to subscriber devices (206) such that all portions are delivered prior to the advertising avail occurring or completing at the subscriber device.
