A method of distributing media at a network apparatus comprising: transcoding pre-broadcast content into transcoded content as a time-shifted media production according to a format associated with a content distribution apparatus , wherein the transcoded content includes a distribution indicator with the transcoded content to restrict distribution of the transcoded content by the content distribution apparatus to one or more remote apparatus ; transmitting a video-on-demand (VOD) file that includes the time-shifted media production to the content distribution apparatus before a scheduled broadcast of the broadcast media content; determining whether the pre-broadcast content corresponds to subsequent broadcast content by comparing an as-stitched-log of the time-shifted media production with an as-run-log of the broadcast media content that is broadcast after the pre-broadcast media content is transcoded as the time-shifted media production; providing to the content distribution apparatus a delta file that includes an advertisement if the result of the comparison is greater than an acceptable error tolerance between the as-stitched-log and the as-run-log, with the delta file accounting for the difference in the content between the as-run-log and the as-stitched-log; dynamically re-stitching the time-shifted media production based on the media content correspondence to include the delta file; and signaling the content distribution apparatus to remove the distribution indicator of the transcoded content to permit the distribution of the transcoded content by the content distribution apparatus to the one or more remote apparatus when the distribution indicator is lifted. transcoding pre-broadcast content into transcoded content as a time-shifted media production according to a format associated with a content distribution apparatus , wherein the transcoded content includes a distribution indicator with the transcoded content to restrict distribution of the transcoded content by the content distribution apparatus to one or more remote apparatus ; transmitting a video-on-demand (VOD) file that includes the time-shifted media production to the content distribution apparatus before a scheduled broadcast of the broadcast media content; determining whether the pre-broadcast content corresponds to subsequent broadcast content by comparing an as-stitched-log of the time-shifted media production with an as-run-log of the broadcast media content that is broadcast after the pre-broadcast media content is transcoded as the time-shifted media production; providing to the content distribution apparatus a delta file that includes an advertisement if the result of the comparison is greater than an acceptable error tolerance between the as-stitched-log and the as-run-log, with the delta file accounting for the difference in the content between the as-run-log and the as-stitched-log; dynamically re-stitching the time-shifted media production based on the media content correspondence to include the delta file; and signaling the content distribution apparatus to remove the distribution indicator of the transcoded content to permit the distribution of the transcoded content by the content distribution apparatus to the one or more remote apparatus when the distribution indicator is lifted. <EOS>
