1. A method for broadcasting information about a live event that is constituted by a plurality of subevents, each subevent including at least one action, comprising the steps of:

  • producing a first information signal comprising an audio description of the event;

    producing a second information signal, said second information signal including a sequence of symbolic representations for each subevent of the event, each sequence including a value for at least one status variable that defines the status of the event at a particular time in relation to the subevent represented by that sequence, said second information signal comprising a signal from which a computer simulation of the event described by the first information signal can be produced;

    producing a broadcast signal by combining said first and second second information signals;

    transmitting said broadcast signal from a first location;

    receiving said broadcast signal at a second location;

    separating said broadcast signal into said first and second information signals;

    analyzing said second information signal using pattern-matching techniques to detect subevents and status information of interest;

    selectively producing an audio representation of the event using said first information based on the detection of subevents and status information of interest by said step of analyzing.
