Abstract:
Media content rebroadcast is described. In embodiment(s), a content distributor broadcasts television media content to client devices, and caches the television media content that is broadcast. A client device can receive the television media content and then request identification data that corresponds to the television media content from the content distributor. The client device can determine whether all of the television media content has been received utilizing the identification data, and request data segment(s) of the television media content that are determined not to have been received. The content distributor receives requests from multiple client devices for data segments of the television media content not received by the client devices. The content distributor can then prioritize the requests based on demand for the data segments that are requested, and queue the data segments prioritized by demand for rebroadcast to the requesting client devices.
