Claim 10:
11. A system comprising:
a user input interface; and
control circuitry configured to:
receive, via the user input interface, a first input defining a first rule for assigning a first delivery type of a plurality of delivery types as a delivery type for media content, wherein the first rule is associated with a first priority;
receive, via the user input interface, a second input defining a second rule for assigning a second delivery type of the plurality of delivery types as the delivery type for the media content, wherein the second rule is associated with a second priority;
receive, via the user input interface, an input selecting a media asset;
determine that the first rule and the second rule are both satisfied by the media asset;
in response to determining that the first and second rules are both satisfied by the media asset, automatically determine which one of the first and second delivery types to assign as the delivery type of the media asset based on whether the first priority associated with the first rule is greater than the second priority associated with the second rule; and
in response to determining that the first priority is greater than the second priority, automatically assign the first delivery type as the delivery type of the media asset.
