Verification system verifies whether a viewer's terminal displayed a segment within an media program. The system includes embedding markings within the media program that indicate an identifier associated with the media program, the starting and ending points of the segment, and a mechanism for determining whether the segment was displayed within a predetermined time range. An observation application on the terminal where the media program is displayed may be capable of sending information regarding the display of a segment to the host server, which then may verify that the segment has been displayed and forwards this verification to a third party, such as an advertiser, who has agreed to provide compensation each time the segment is displayed on the terminal.
