Abstract

See full text

An advertisement scheduler in the television advertisement scheduling system receives a commercial break schedule generated from a completed assignment of one or more spots that correspond to the deals comprising advertisers orders to place the one or more spots into one or more commercial breaks in the commercial break schedule based on constraints and placement requirements. The advertisement scheduler may determine representative liability per pending spot for one or more of the deals, and reshuffle the placement of the one or more spots based on the representative liability of the one or more deals in order to minimize liability associated with the one or more deals. The advertisement scheduler may reshuffle the placement of the one or more spots based on a forecast of expected viewership associated with the one or more deals, and generate a finalized commercial break schedule based on the reshuffling.
