Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods to verify and/or correct media lineup information are disclosed. An example method includes comparing signature data representative of media to recurring segment reference signatures in a signature database. The recurring segment reference signatures are representative of segments of media recurring in multiple different episodes of a same media series. The example method further includes, when the signature data matches one of the recurring segment reference signatures, generating identifying information for the media indicating the media as corresponding to an episode of the media series.
