1. A computer-based method comprising:
- receiving, by an IP marketplace computer-based system and from a user, a request to add a new channel to a channel guide interface;
providing, by the computer based system, a channel input interface to the user;
displaying, by the computer-based system, an unused channel in the channel input interface;
receiving, by the computer-based system and from the user, a selection of the unused channel in order to add the new channel;
prompting, by the computer-based system, the user to configure the new channel by providing new channel parameters;
receiving, by the computer-based system and via the channel input interface, the new channel parameters;
creating, by the computer-based system, the new channel;
prioritizing, by the computer-based system, the new channel within the channel guide interface; and
presenting, by the computer-based system, the channel guide interface to the user, wherein the channel guide interface includes the new channel based upon the new channel parameters.
