A system and method that selects content data from a set of content data for broadcast is provided. The system includes a content database that stores the set of content data therein, the set of content data including a plurality of content data files, each of the respective content data files being provided by a respective user. A communication interface receives ranking data from users for content data files within the set of content data. A control processor is coupled to the communication interface and generates an aggregate content rank for each of the content data files based on the ranking data received by the communication interface and selects a subset of content data files from the content database having the greatest aggregate content rank for inclusion in a broadcast playlist. A broadcaster broadcasts the subset of content data files in the broadcast playlist based on the aggregate content rank.
