Systems and methods for efficiently chronicling broadcast content

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for automatically capturing event occurrence data associated with a broadcast channel. A baseline schedule for the broadcast channel is imported that includes an identification of events scheduled to appear on the broadcast channel and scheduled times for those events. A prompt is provided via a graphical user interface for a user to enter a time of actual occurrence of event appearances on the broadcast channel. Indications of times of an appearance and that events did not air on the broadcast channel are received via the prompt. The indications are stored in a computer-readable medium, and a report is provided that identifies events that did appear on the broadcast channel and their time of appearance and events that did not appear on the broadcast channel.

1. A computer-implemented method of automatically capturing event occurrence data associated with a broadcast channel, comprising:
importing a baseline schedule for the broadcast channel, comprising identification of events scheduled to appear on the broadcast channel and scheduled times for those events; providing a prompt via a graphical user interface for a user to enter a time of actual occurrence of event appearances on the broadcast channel; receiving indications of times of an appearance and that events did not air on the broadcast channel via the prompt; storing the indications in a computer-readable medium; providing a report that identifies events that did appear on the broadcast channel and their time of appearance, and events that did not appear on the broadcast channel; receiving a command to adjust the baseline schedule to form an updated schedule in response to the report; communicating the updated schedule to an entity to command changing of events to appear on the broadcast schedule; and receiving an acknowledgement of the changing of events from a master control user; wherein upon an adjustment to the baseline schedule that affects a scheduled event, a note is associated with the scheduled event that includes data associated with the adjustment; and wherein the data associated with the adjustment includes an identification of a person who made the adjustment.
