Media production system with score-based display feature

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that upon execution by a processor, cause performance of a set of acts comprising:

• (i) selecting, by a computing system, a media content item from a set of multiple media content items;
• (ii) identifying, by the computing system, a set of operations that a media production system (MPS) performed in connection with the selected media content item, wherein the MPS is configured for generating and transmitting media content to a media broadcast system (MBS) for distribution to end-users, and wherein the set of operations comprises an operation selected from the group consisting of (i) a first operation of the MPS providing a preview of the selected media content item, (ii) a second operation of the MPS adding a reference to the selected media content item to a program schedule for a media program, and (iii) a third operation of the MPS transmitting the selected media content item to another MPS;
• (iii) for each operation in the identified set of operations, determining, by the computing system, a respective operation score;
• (iv) using, by the computing system, the one or more determined operation scores to determine a media content item score of the selected media content item;
• (v) repeating (i)-(iv) above for each remaining media content item in the set of multiple media content items;
• and
• (vi) displaying, by the computing system, a reference to each media content item in the set of multiple media content items, wherein the displayed references are arranged based on the determined media content item scores.
