Abstract
Systems, methods, and articles for augmenting slot metadata for broadcast streams and replacement of content in addressable streams based on the metadata are described herein. The systems disclosed herein are able to augment slots associated with content provided by broadcast streams to include metadata. The augmented slots are used to generate a log, that can be used by at least one of an augmentation system, a broadcast play out provider, and an addressable play out provider to generate one or more playlists for providing content via broadcast streams and addressable streams. The metadata can further be used to alter the content provided by addressable play out providers such that media content provided via the addressable stream and broadcast stream is similar but advertisement content provided via the addressable stream and broadcast stream is different.
