receive, from the user device, a request for a copy of the content, the request including a first identifier associated with the content, information associated with the user device, and information associated with the broadcast station;
obtain a user profile associated with the user device by matching the information associated with the user device to first information stored in the user profile;
obtain a station profile, associated with the broadcast station, by matching the information associated with the broadcast station to second information stored in the station profile;
identify the content, in the station profile, by matching the first identifier to a second identifier associated with the content stored in the station profile;
obtain the copy of the content to enable the user device to access the copy of the content based on the identifying the content in the station profile; and
send, to the user profile, a notification indicating that the user device is authorized to access to the content.

Abstract
A server device that communicates with a user device and the server device is enabled to receive a request for a copy of content, the request including a first identifier associated with the content, information associated with the user device, and information associated with a broadcast station that is broadcasting the content. The server device may obtain a user profile associated with the user device and obtain a station profile associated with a broadcast station, and identify the content, in the station profile. The server device may obtain the copy of the content to enable the user device to access the copy of the content and send, to the user profile, a notification indicating that the user device is authorized to access to the content.
