Abstract
A system and method configured to selectively broadcast channelized video contents between multicasting sessions and/or uni-casting sessions are disclosed. In one embodiment, a process of media broadcast transmits channelized video content over a uni-casting session from a content provider to first user equipment ('UE') via a base station. The channelized video content and number of UEs receiving the channelized video content are tracked and accounted. Upon receiving a second request for the channelized video content from a second UE via the base station, a multicasting session capable of broadcasting the channelized video content is established. The process allows the first UE and the second UE to receive the channelized video content via the multicasting session.
