1. A method of operating a video control system for displaying video products within a current viewing context, the method comprising:
- receiving a video product via a broadcast communication at the video control system;
receiving product information for the video product at the video control system;
processing the product information at the video control system to determine an intended local viewing time for the video product based upon the product information, wherein the intended local viewing time indicates a time of day during which the video product is intended to be viewed as initially produced by a video producer that created a content rating for the video product; and
filtering the video product at the video control system based on a comparison of a first stringency of rating content at the intended local viewing time and a second stringency of rating content at a current time.
