Systems and methods for generating a user profile based customized media guide with user-generated content and non-user-generated content

A system for generating an interactive media guide that includes user-generated content, the system comprising control circuitry configured to:

• identify user-generated content stored on a provider of user-generated content, wherein the user-generated content is identified based on content characteristics stored in a user profile;
• generate for display, in the interactive media guide, representations of the identified user-generated content together with listings of linear or on-demand non-user-generated media content;
• and
• generate for display, in the interactive media guide, source identifiers representing the sources from which the identified user-generated content and the linear or on-demand non-user generated media content are received, wherein each of the representations of the identified user-generated content and each of the listings are arranged relative to their corresponding source identifiers, and wherein each source identifier in the generated display is presented a common axis.

A method for generating an interactive media guide that includes user-generated content, the method comprising:

• identifying user-generated content stored on a provider of user-generated content, wherein the user-generated content is identified based on content characteristics stored in a user profile;
• generating for display in the interactive media guide, using control circuitry, representations of the identified user-generated content together with listings of linear or on-demand non-user-generated media content;
• determining, using the control circuitry, a date and a time associated with each identified user-generated content that identify when the corresponding user-generated content was added to the provider;
• arranging representations of the identified user-generated content according to the determined dates and times;
• selecting a promotion based on the user profile;
• automatically associating the selected promotion to the identified user-generated content;
• and
• arranging the selected promotion with the representations of the user-generated content.
