Abstract:
1. A method for allocating a unique point of contact to an advertisement across multiple broadcasting systems, comprising the steps of: determining using at least one computer with a processor and memory which broadcast signal geographic coverage areas overlap the geographic coverage area of the requesting broadcasting system's broadcast signal, wherein the exact point of origin and broadcast signal geographic coverage area of each broadcasting system is known; calculating the geographic coverage area of each broadcasting system by using a terrestrial radio frequency path analysis system provided with the signal's range combined with surrounding terrain elevation data to find locations where each signal reaches and does not reach within said range; searching for a point of contact from a predetermined pool of contacts that is available for the advertisement and is unused within the local geographic area of the requesting broadcasting system's point of origin; and assigning said point of contact to the advertisement.
