<p>A method and system for users to select and participate in call-in broadcast programs are disclosed. The user initiates a request to contact a show by inputting an indication into a mobile device (125) that the user would like to contact the show. The mobile device (125) sends the request to a call server (101), which looks up the show's contact information based on the current channel being received by the mobile device (125), and forwards the request to a show representative (109). The show's representative (109) screens calls and provide automated responses. When the show's representative (109) accepts a request to contact the show, the call server (101) initiates a connection between the mobile device (125) and a telephone or other device associated with the show. Once the connection has been established, the call server (101) withdraws from the connection, allowing the user to communicate with the show representative (109).</p> |
