Abstract
A syndicated-content recognition system retrieves, from at least one database, media broadcast files broadcast by a plurality of media broadcast sources, wherein individual media broadcast files are associated with stations, days of the week, and times. Based on historical data associated with the media broadcast files, the system determines whether a particular media broadcast file associated with a particular station and a particular time is likely to include syndicated content. In response to determining that the particular media broadcast file is likely to include syndicated content the particular media broadcast file is tagged to generate a tagged media broadcast file, and the tagged media broadcast file is exempted from syndicated-content-comparisons with other media broadcast files.
