ABSTRACT:
Media content rebroadcast is described. In embodiments, requests for a missing data segment of television media content are received from client devices that determine the missing data segment has not been received. The requests from the client devices can be prioritized based on demand for the missing data segment. The missing data segment can then be queued in a rebroadcast queue for rebroadcast to the client devices, and the rebroadcast queue can be prioritized based on the demand for the missing data segment.
