Migration of stored media through a media exchange network

A machine-readable storage having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section for communicating information in a distributed media network, the at least one code section being executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform steps comprising:

• detecting new media that has been stored in a storage device of the distributed network;
• based on detecting the new media, selecting said new media for migration;
• migrating said to at least a first media processing system within the distributed media network as migrated media;
• storing said migrated at said at least a first media processing system as stored media;
• determining to process said stored media;
• and
• based on the determination to process said stored media, automatically and without user intervention:
• maintaining the stored media in the first media processing system;
• accessing one or more rules for scheduling the presentation of the media in a channel view;
• determining, based on the rules, a time to place the stored media in the channel view;
• and
• pushing said stored media to the channel view of at least one user;
• wherein when it is determined to not process the stored media by the first media processing system, the media is transmitted to an archiving storage device for archival storage of the stored media without pushing the stored media to the channel view.

A system for communicating information in a distributed media network, the system comprising:

• at least one processor that is operable to:
• detect new media that has been stored in a storage device of the distributed network;
• based on detecting the new media, select said new media for migration;
• migrate said new media to at least a first media processing system within the distributed network as migrated media;
• a local storage operable to store said migrated at said at least a first media processing system as stored media;
• said at least one processor is operable to:
• determine to process said stored media;
• and
• based on the determination to process said stored media, automatically and without user intervention:
• maintain the stored media in the first media processing system;
• access one or more rules for scheduling the presentation of the media in a channel view;
• determine, based on the rules, a time to place the stored media in the channel view;
• and
• push said stored media to the channel view of at least one user;
• wherein when it is determined to not process the stored media by the first media processing system, the media is transmitted to an archiving storage device for archival storage of the stored media without pushing the stored media to the channel view.
