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.

Modification of local logs by enterprise hub

A management and delivery method and system for a distributed marketing network. Access to one or more network service gateways associated with a distributed marketing network can be authorized, if particular criteria are satisfied. A business transaction may be coordinated with the distributed marketing network through network service gateways in a near real time fashion and without manual intervention, in response to authorizing the access to the network service gateways. The network service gateways may include a partner interface, a centralized hub that communicates with the partner interfaces, and/or a local market integrated service layer that communicates with the centralized hub and the partner interface. The distributed marketing network may be, for example, a network of radio stations.

System and method for integrated, automated inventory management and advertisement delivery

A distributed media outlet can include both a traffic and billing system, and a media delivery system that employ separate broadcast logs, or playlists. An enterprise hub can transmit broadcast instructions to the media outlet via an integrated services layer (ISL), which acts as a multidirectional gateway between the enterprise hub and the media outlet. The ISL can synchronize the separate playlists used by the traffic and billing system and the media delivery system by simultaneously injecting the broadcast instructions into both systems included in the media outlet. The media delivery system and traffic and billing system can continually re-synchronize their playlists by, at least in part, relaying information to one another via the integrated services layer.

Simultaneous injection of broadcast instructions

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.
