Modification of local logs by enterprise hub
An enterprise hub receives a first local log from a first transaction delivery system of a first media outlet, and a second local log from a second transaction delivery system of a second media outlet The local logs represents media items scheduled for delivery by the media outlets. The enterprise hub also receives a first avail claim, to be inserted into both the first local log and the second local log, from a first content provider. The enterprise hub inserts the first avail claim into the first local log to generate a first revised log, and into the second local log to generate a second revised log. The first and second revised logs are transmitted from the enterprise hub to the corresponding first or second media outlet.
Digital radio tagging using an RF tuner accessory
An accessory having an RF tuner for digital radio, such as HD radio, can be in communication with a media player such as a portable media device (“PMD”). The user can be given the ability to command the accessory to provide raw digital data, the ability to scan only for stations having digital audio content (or for all available stations), the ability to provide station lists of stations having digital audio content (or all available stations), and the ability to request and store metadata beyond that for stations actually being listened to provide enhanced search capabilities. Enhanced metadata and searching can provide the listener the ability to refine station choices without having to listen at length to any particular station, and further can facilitate tagging broadcast tracks for subsequent access and/or purchase.

Automated content delivery to distributed media outlets
A method can include sending a request to a media content provider requesting media content and receiving the media content and instructions from the media provider. The instructions can be utilized by the media provider to broadcast the media content. The media provider can store the received media content in a database process the instructions then distribute the media content and the instructions to distributed media outlets. The media content provider can receive information indicating that the media content was broadcast by the distributed media outlets according to the instructions.

Method and system for caching content for mobile distribution
Method and system are provided for mobile distribution of content received via satellite signals. A satellite reception assembly may comprise a receive module and a basestation module. The receive module may receive satellite signals, process the received satellite signals to recover data carried therein, determine when the recovered data comprises a portion for local wireless broadcast by the system, and if so generate broadcast signals for carrying the portion of recovered data. The basestation module may transmit the generated broadcast signals, particularly to a mobile device of a satellite subscriber authorized to receive and access the data carried in the satellite signals. The recovered data may comprise web-based content.
