Abstract

The present invention provides multi media video streams via high speed internet to a worldwide audience by using a specialized automation system with audio and video switching capabilities. This system provides video media streams to multiple platforms such as, cell phones, internet websites, and cable television subscribers.

Claims

1. A method for producing an audio and video signal corresponding to an audio stream of an over-the-air radio station comprising the steps of:

a. providing audio content corresponding to an audio stream transmitted from an over-the-air radio station;

b. accessing a library of video content corresponding to at least a portion of the content of the over-the air radio stream;

c. processing the audio content and the corresponding video content to produce a synchronized audio and video signal; and

d. transmitting the synchronized audio and video signal.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the synchronized audio and video signal is transmitted over the internet via a website associated with the over-the-air radio station.

3. A system for producing an audio and video signal corresponding to an audio stream of an over-the-air radio station comprising:

a. audio content corresponding to an audio stream transmitted from an over-the-air radio station; and

b. a processor having access to a library of video content corresponding to at least a portion of the content of the over-the air radio stream, said processor producing a synchronized audio and video signal from the audio content and the corresponding video content.

4. The system of claim 3 wherein the synchronized audio and video signal is transmitted over the internet via a website associated with the over-the-air radio station.

5. A library of video content for use in a system for producing an audio and video signal wherein audio content corresponding to an audio stream transmitted from an over-the-air radio station is processed with the library of video content corresponding to at least a portion of the content of the over-the air radio stream to produce a synchronized audio and video signal from the audio content and the corresponding video content.
