Systems, methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to identify times at which live media events are distributed

摘要

Systems, methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to identify times at which live media events are distributed are disclosed. An example method includes collecting feed data representative of source feeds associated with respective live media events, collecting distribution data representative of a plurality of distributions of the source feeds, and comparing, using a processor, the distribution data to the feed data to generate a list identifying times at which the live media events were distributed via corresponding distributions.

1. A method comprising:
collecting feed data representative of source feeds provided to a distributor, the source feeds being associated with respective live media events; collecting distribution data from distribution data collectors via a data network, the distribution data being representative of distributions of the source feeds by the distributor; and comparing, using a processor, the distribution data to the feed data to generate a list identifying an on-the-fly switch that occurred on a single channel between a first one of the live media events and a second one of the live media events made by the distributor, the first live media event being a live media event scheduled to be transmitted by the distributor at a first time, and the list indicating whether the second live media event is actually transmitted by the distributor at the first time.
