Abstract
During normal operation, a switching module receives, from one or more media encoders, channel content associated with one or more media channels and transmits that channel content to a transmitter. The switching module, while transmitting the channel content, logs in a notification system in response to a login request received from the notification system. Once logged in, the notification system transmits content associated with the one or more media channels to the switching module. The switching module transmits the notification content to the transmitter in place of the channel content received from the media encoders. While transmitting the notification content, the switching module determines that the notification system has been logged out, and resumes transmission of the channel content to the transmitter.
