Abstract:

The present application is directed towards systems and methods for providing audience interaction with a broadcast media program. A producer, utilizing an intuitive interface provided by a computing device can request audience input by providing polls or questions, which may be transmitted to a plurality of remote computing devices of the audience. An audience member may record a brief audio or video file, of up to a predetermined length, in response to a question via an application executed by their remote computing device. The application may transmit the recorded file to the computing device of the producer, who may review the recorded file and delete it, post it to a website, or download it for playback on air. Accordingly, the resulting system provides the ease, efficiency, and safety of asynchronous communication systems, while allowing audience members to hear their own comments and own voices on air.
