Advertisements for brands that are to be aired during media programs are selected based on similarities between the brands and creators of the media programs. As a media program is being aired, data representing content of a media program is processed to identify words being spoken or sung during the media program and sentiments associated with the media program. The media program is classified based on the words and sentiments, and a classification of the media program is compared to attributes of advertisements to determine which of the advertisements is best suited for airing during the media program. Additionally, a set of words that, if spoken or sung during a media program would establish conditions favorable to a given advertisement may be identified and provided to a creator.

Selecting advertisements for media programs and establishing favorable conditions for advertisements

A creator establishes a media program including a plurality of media files or content in accordance with a broadcast plan. Mixing systems establish connections with a mobile device of the creator, and with sources of the audio files or content, either manually or automatically in response to instructions of the creator. Broadcast systems establish connections with computer devices of listeners and a mixing system. Conference systems establish connections with the mobile device of the creator and a mixing system. The connections established may be one-way or two-way channels. The media program may include live or previously recorded audio content including words or sounds of the creator, as well as advertisements, music, news, sports, weather, or other programming. The media program may also include live or previously recorded interviews or other conversations with guests, including but not limited to one or more listeners.

Embodiments may include transforming a subgraph into a new subgraph such that, for a given logical operation of the new subgraph, more primitives are grouped under that logical operation relative to the original subgraph. Each primitive may represent a range of values. The primitives of a given logical operation of the transformed subgraph may represent values that overlap. Embodiments may include performing a union operation on the primitives of the given logical operation of the transformed subgraph to generate an ordered set of non-overlapping values. Embodiments may include replacing the given logical operation of the transformed subgraph with information specifying that set. In embodiments, dependent on the given logical operation's complexity, the requisite time to perform a search operation for a value within the ordered set of non-overlapping values is less than the requisite time to perform the given logical operation on its respective primitives.
