Program segmentation of linear transmission

An apparatus comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the apparatus to:
• receive a content item, from a media stream, that comprises primary content and supplemental content;
• select, from a plurality of classification algorithms and based on a content type of the primary content, a classification algorithm corresponding to the content type, wherein the classification algorithm is configured to analyze one or more visual elements corresponding to the content type;
• determine, based on the selected classification algorithm, the supplemental content in the content item;
• and
• generate, based on the determined supplemental content, an updated version of the content item that omits at least a portion of the determined supplemental content.

One or more nontransitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause:

• receiving a content item, from a media stream, that comprises primary content and supplemental content;
• selecting, from a plurality of classification algorithms and based on a content type of the primary content, a classification algorithm corresponding to the content type, wherein the classification algorithm is configured to analyze one or more visual elements corresponding to the content type;
• determining, based on the selected classification algorithm, the supplemental content in the content item;
• and
• generating, based on the determined supplemental content, an updated version of the content item that omits at least a portion of the determined supplemental content.
