ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for providing information in the form of an insertion to a user during delays in retrieving program material with an interactive system. This may include making a determination of whether the delay is going to be sufficiently long to provide the user with an insertion. In addition, the insertion may be customized to either the user or to the program material requested, or to both the user and the requested program material. The insertion may include control logic that provides the user with control over the insertion and/or the interactive system.
