Systems and methods for prompting and incorporating unscripted user content into live broadcast programming

A method of facilitating a live broadcast program, comprising:

• providing, by a computing system, a live broadcast program to one or more client devices for display, the live broadcast program comprising one or more interaction prompts, the computing system comprising non-transitory memory storing computer readable instructions and a processor configured to execute the computer readable instructions;
• receiving, by the computing system from at least one device among the one or more client devices, one or more user generated responses to an interaction prompt associated with live broadcast program;
• processing, by the computing system, the received one or more responses for content and/or compatibility with the live broadcast program;
• storing, by the computing system, the one or more responses that are compatible with the live broadcast program in a database;
• generating, by the computing system, a segment to be added to the live broadcast program by generating a playlist that comprises at least one response among the stored one or more responses to form the segment;
• integrating, by the computing system, the segment with the live broadcast program;
• transcoding, by the computing system, the live broadcast program with the segment into at least one format suitable for display on a display associated with each of the one or more client devices;
• transmitting, by the computing system, the transcoded live broadcast program to the one or more client devices for display.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, comprising:

• providing a live broadcast program to one or more client devices for display, wherein the live broadcast program comprises one or more interaction prompts;
• receiving, from at least one device among the one or more client devices, one or more user generated responses to an interaction prompt associated with live broadcast program;
• processing the received one or more responses for content and/or compatibility with the live broadcast program;
• storing the one or more responses that are compatible with the live broadcast program in a database;
• generating a segment to be added to the live broadcast program by generating a playlist that comprises at least one response among the stored one or more responses to form the segment;
• integrating the segment with the live broadcast program;
• transcoding the live broadcast program with the segment into at least one format suitable for display on a display associated with each of the one or more client devices;
• transmitting the transcoded live broadcast program to the one or more client devices for display.

A system for providing interactive live broadcast programming, the system comprising:

• an ingest server configured to receive, from at least one client device, one or more user generated responses to interaction prompts associated with a live broadcast program, the interaction prompts displayed on at least one display device associated with the at least one client device, the ingest server configured to process the received one or more responses for content and/or compatibility with the live broadcast program, and store the processed one or more responses in a database;
• a show creation server configured to generate a segment to be added to an interactive live program by generating a playlist that comprises at least one response among the stored one or more responses to form the segment and integrate the segment with the interactive live program;
• and
• a streaming server configured to transcode the interactive live program with the segment into at least one format suitable for display on the at least one display associated with the at least one client device and transmit the transcoded interactive live program to the at least one client device for display.
