Content for distribution over a television system is collected from widely distributed contributors (104) at a central location (118, 120) using a data communications network such as the Internet. Based on this collected content, data is generated which is suitable for transmission over a relatively low-bandwidth network connection. This generated data is then transmitted to a video workstation (124) at either a cable TV head-end (126) or at a TV broadcast station where it is stored. At the video workstation, the data is converted into video formatted broadcast data and delivered to subscriber households (140A-140C). The broadcasted data can include multiple display areas which have independently controlled and scheduled data.
