1. A system for controlling sequence of content included in a channel, the system comprising:

  • a server system on a content delivery network, the server system including a content curator server through which a content curator provides input to define a particular channel and define a particular play sequence policy for the particular channel; and

    a media device associated with a user of the content delivery network and configured to display content provided by the server system,wherein the server system is configured to;

    identify the particular channel subscribed to by the user of the content delivery network;

    receive, from the content curator, input defining the particular play sequence policy for the particular channel;

    access, for the user that subscribes to the particular channel, user profile data that defines play sequence preferences of the user and default play sequence settings automatically set for the user;

    compare the particular play sequence policy defined for the particular channel by the content curator to the play sequence preferences of the user and the default play sequence settings automatically set for the user;

    based on the comparison, determine, for the user for the particular channel, a user play sequence policy that modifies a portion of the particular play sequence policy defined by the content curator for the particular channel and maintains a portion of the particular play sequence policy defined by the content curator for the particular channel; and

    control display, on the media device, of the particular channel based on the determined user play sequence policy.
