Abstract:
Social media inputs from users, and specific to a content of a broadcast program, are analyzed to determine a sentiment value expressed relative to a portion of the content by a user. A group is formed of those users whose sentiment values expressed relative to the portion within a defined period during the broadcast of the program are within a specified tolerance value of sentiment value expressed by the user. A time zone of a location extracted from a social media input of the user is assigned to the group. A fabricated event that evokes a predicted sentiment is inserted in the broadcast program. A confidence value for the time zone is computed by comparing a sentiment value of a response by the group to the fabricated event with the predicted sentiment value. The group's placement in the time zone is confirmed when the confidence value exceeds a threshold.
