A method and system for booking and scheduling requests for broadcast of programs by a station in which a request has at least a program time duration and required minimum broadcast bandwidth and the station has a fixed bandwidth broadcast capability. A schedule is maintained of programs that have been booked for broadcast, each booked program having a date of broadcast, time for broadcast, time duration and broadcast bandwidth and the request is checked against the schedule of the booked programs for availability of the requested minimum bandwidth for the time duration of the request. The request also can contain a specified time and date for the broadcast. If the request can be satisfied a notice of acceptance is sent and if it cannot, advice is given of this and a listing of alternate times is provided at which the request can be satisfied.
