Abstract
Example embodiments provide a media content news feed identifying one or more media content streams that may be received and displayed. In an example embodiment, media content alert information is received at a media content device that describes at least one of a plurality of media content streams receivable at the media content device via a network. The received media content alert information is processed to generate a content news feed including one or more content news items. The content news feed is presented using the display device. A selection of one of the content news items of the feed is received, with the selected content news item identifying a corresponding media content stream of the plurality of streams. Based on the selected content news item, the corresponding media content stream is processed.

- receiving, at the Content Access Device, a second push communication from a second Media Content Source System, the second push communication comprising second media content alert information;
- based on the first media content alert information and the second media content alert information, generating, by the Content Access Device, a news feed item corresponding to media content alert information with a higher relative priority between the first media content alert information and the second media content alert information;
- and
- presenting, on a display device of the Content Access Device, the news feed item in a content stream overlay, partially obscuring first video content.
