主权项 1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving, from each of a set of subscriber computing devices, a request to subscribe to a channel and thereby to periodically receive content items of the channel to be displayed at a subscriber computing device when the subscriber computing device is in a display state, wherein the display state is one entered by the subscriber computing device upon detecting, at least, a lack of user input for a threshold period of time or that a particular program is not active; transmitting a content item with a calendar option to each of the set of subscriber computing devices, wherein the content item corresponds to the channel, and wherein the transmitting the content item with the calendar option facilitates a concurrent presentation of the content item and the calendar option; receiving a calendar-option communication from a subscriber computing device in the set of subscriber computing devices that indicates that the calendar option has been selected at the subscriber computing device; in response to receiving the calendar-option communication, accessing calendar information from an electronic calendar associated with the channel, wherein the calendar information identifies one or more availabilities in the electronic calendar transmitting the calendar information with a reservation option to the subscriber computing device, wherein the calendar information identifies the availability in the electronic calendar; receiving one or more reservation communications from the subscriber computing device that indicates that the reservation option has been selected at the subscriber computing device and corresponding to a request to claim an availability of the one or more availabilities in the calendar; and facilitating adding a reservation o the electronic calendar, such that the calendar no longer includes the availability.
