  • creating a plurality of descriptors, each of which corresponds to a subportion of said information;

    assigning a weighting value to a subgroup of said plurality of descriptors, with said subgroup of said plurality of descriptors having a weighting value differing from the weighting value associated with the remaining descriptors of said subgroup;

    assigning a plurality of viewing population numbers to a predetermined period of time with each of said plurality of viewing population numbers corresponding to a segment of said period; and

    scheduling said descriptors of said subgroup for transmission so that the descriptor of said subgroup having a greatest weighting value, defining a primary descriptor, is transmitted during the segment having a greatest viewing population number associated therewith.
