A method for providing content summaries for one or more media assets, the method comprising, before a start time at which a media asset is to be aired:
- determining that consumption associated with a profile of the media asset will begin at a first time, wherein the first time corresponds to the start time of the media asset;
- determining, based on an input, a second time that is a period of time prior to the first time;
- retrieving a pool of content summaries, including at least one content summary for each media asset;
- computing a score for each content summary of the pool, wherein the score is based at least on a duration of the content summary;
- and
- causing a list of content summaries for the one or more media assets to be generated for display, wherein the content summaries are selected amongst the pool based on the score, such that a duration of the content summary is not greater than the period of time, and wherein the content summaries are ordered based on the duration of the content summaries.
