Described herein are systems and methods for providing call-control features based on information about the programming events. The call-control features are provided to control, handle, or otherwise manage incoming telephone calls. The programming events may be television programming events such as broadcast, pay-per-view, or video-on-demand shows, movies, or the like. A computerized set top box (STB) may be used to output the programming events for display on a television or any other suitable display device. The STB is operable to receive notices of incoming telephone calls and manage such calls with call-control features that are associated with the programming events output by the STB based on information, such as content or metadata about, such programming events.
