• determining that a portion of one or more live media content items is relevant to at least one of the plurality of entities of interest;
• in response to determining that the portion of one or more live media content items is relevant to at least one of the plurality of entities of interest, placing a representation of the portion of one or more live media content items in a queue that is ordered based on relevance to the plurality of entities of interest;
• causing the user device to present the representation of the portion of one or more live media content items according to the order of the queue;
• and
• in response to receiving a user input from the representation of the portion of one or more live media content items, causing the user device to present the portion of one or more live media content items on the user device.
