Streaming systems and methods are described for integrating and distributing live, pre-recorded and/or on-demand media content via a packet network. The streaming systems receive a plurality of content signals from live, pre-recorded and/or on-demand content sources. The streaming systems establish a streaming session for a selected content signal that is transmitted to a remote client computer over a packet switched data network. The selected content signal is streamed over the data network during the streaming session. The streaming of the selected content signal is managed using a server. The server communicates with components including a viewer access database, a content database that includes names and titles to available content from available sources, a viewer advertising database, and/or an accounting database that includes fees to be applied to title owners of content signals when selected for transmission over the packet switched data network.
