System and method for providing broadcast listener participation

A non-transitory computer readable medium tangibly embodying a program of computer executable instructions, the program of computer executable instructions comprising:

• at least one instruction to provide a listener participation interface including an access control and a feedback control to at least one listener, the listener participation interface configured to present at least one playlist including a plurality of media elements included in a broadcast library to the at least one listener for judging;
• at least one instruction to, in response to the at least one listener activating the access control, provide the listener access to the at least one playlist, the at least one playlist being a candidate playlist for broadcast;
• at least one instruction to receive feedback, via the feedback control, from the at least one listener, the feedback indicating a judgment of the at least one listener indicating whether the at least one candidate playlist for broadcast should be broadcast;
• at least one instruction to evaluate the feedback from the at least one listener to identify a selected one of a plurality of candidate playlists for broadcast at a pre-designated time;
• and
• at least one instruction to broadcast the selected one of the plurality of candidate playlists at substantially the pre-designated time indicated by the feedback received from at least one listener.

A device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
• provide a listener participation interface including an access control and a feedback control to at least one listener, the listener participation interface configured to present at least one playlist including a plurality of media elements included in a broadcast library to the at least one listener for judging;
• in response to the at least one listener activating the access control, provide the at least one listener access to the at least one playlist, the at least one playlist being a candidate playlist for broadcast;
• receive feedback, via the feedback control, from the at least one listener, the feedback indicating a judgment of the at least one listener indicating whether the at least one candidate playlist for broadcast should be broadcast;
• evaluate the feedback from the at least one listener to identify a selected one of a plurality of candidate playlists for broadcast at a pre-designated time;
• and
• broadcast the selected one of the plurality of candidate playlists at substantially the pre-designated time based on the judgment of the at least one listener indicated by the feedback.
