               The disclosed invention relates to an information                      
          distribution system that delivers digital program information in            
          the form of digital streaming media over a large geographic area.           
               Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it

               1.  An information distribution system delivering digital              
          program information over a large geographic area wherein the                
          digital program information provides different broadcast quality            
          television programming to a plurality of remote locations within            
          the large geographic area, the system comprising:                           
               a network operation center creating a national program feed            
          and information components that are multiplexed to create a                 
          digital streaming media;                                                    
               a broadcast quality multi-window screen display at the                 
          remote location, the multi-window display comprising a plurality            
          of different programming in each of the multi-window screens,               
          wherein at least a portion of the different programming is                  
          carried by the digital streaming media from the network operation           
          center and comprises at least a national program feed;                      
               a graphical user interface accessing a software control                
          process at the network operation center for controlling through             
          the digital streaming media the assembly of the multi-window                
          screen display;

          remote node and wherein the digital streaming media is used to              
          produce the multi-window display at the remote node.                        




                                          2
