Abstract
A system capable of generating and storing program data associated with localized content, such as over-the-air television broadcasts. The system may update a knowledge base with the program data to improve natural language understanding (NLU) processing associated with the localized content. For example, a voice enabled device may receive a voice command and the system may perform NLU processing to interpret the voice command, determine content based on the program data and send an instruction to an output device to output the content. The program data may include information about localized content such as channels detected by the output device and/or content broadcast on the channels, including information about an output device, a channel number, call sign, station name, signal strength, etc. associated with a detected channel, and/or a program name, genre, actors, directors, producers, etc. associated with content broadcast on the channel or stored in a local storage device.
