Abstract
A method and system are disclosed to provide interactivity using an interactive channel bug. The interactive channel bug (e.g., an 'interactive broadcast channel branding logo') allows a television user to access a variety of interactive services. The interactive broadcast channel branding logo may be configured to launch a functionality determined by a broadcaster. This functionality may change over time. The form of the interactive broadcast channel branding logo may also change over time in which the availability of new interactive services is indicated.
