The present invention provides a user programmable entertainment method and system that provides varied and ongoing custom entertainment services. The method of the present invention provides an entertainment signal comprising a sequence of discrete expressive works to an end user (at 100). The discrete expressive works represented in the entertainment signal may be either specifically requested by the user or selected according to user-specified parameters. The user defines a sequence of user preference items which together comprise a user preference signal. The user preference signal is then communicated to a remotely located program processor (175). The program processor selects (from 180) a plurality of discrete expressive works that conform to the user preference item definitions. An entertainment signal comprising the selected expressive works is then communicated over a communication link to the receiving means (110,120,130) located in the user node (100). <MATH> |
