Abstract
A method for displaying programmatic content comprising a first step of indexing within a table segments of the programmatic content using at least two possibly overlapping thematic categories, then enabling user selection of at least one of the thematic categories for viewing. The segments of programmatic content are arranged into a video sequence responsive to the user-selected thematic category. The video sequence is then displayed in substantial synchronicity with annotative information associated with a currently viewed segment of the video sequence.
