1. A method for synchronizing primary digital content and supplemental digital content, comprising:

  • timing the supplemental digital content to a long-form version of the primary digital content, wherein the long-form version comprises a version of the primary content comprising segment definitions where additional content may be inserted for a broadcast of the primary digital content and, optionally, content placeholder pods;

    creating a long-form timing script interpretable by a machine to create supplemental content triggers timed to the long-form version of the primary digital content;

    scheduling provision of a linearized program feed comprising the long-form version and the additional content, inserted at the segment definitions;

    creating a broadcast schedule for the linearized program feed; and

    creating a linearized content script based upon the broadcast schedule and the long-form timing script, wherein the linearized content script times the supplemental content triggers of the long-form timing script to the scheduled linearized program feed.
