1. A system providing for an identification of a live broadcast event, an identification of a broadcaster that provides the live broadcast event, an identification of a distribution channel that provides access to the live broadcast event provided by the broadcaster, and a unique identification of at least one media segment corollary to the live broadcast event, the broadcaster and the distribution channel, the system comprising:
a communications device configured to be used to request establishment of a connection with the distribution channel that provides access to the live broadcast event;
the communications device further configured to receive, from the broadcaster using the distribution channel, confirmation of access to the live broadcast event;
the communications device further configured to receive the live broadcast event and a data stream associated with the distribution channel;
one or more processors configured to extract, from one or more portions of the data stream, identifying information corresponding to the live broadcast event, the broadcaster, and the distribution channel, the identifying information comprising a live broadcast event identifier, a broadcaster identifier and a distribution channel identifier,
wherein the broadcaster identifier identifies a source of the at least one media segment and the distribution channel identifier identifies a source of the data stream;
the communications device further configured to receive a data subset provisioned to uniquely identify the at least one media segment corollary to the live broadcast event during broadcast of the live broadcast event;
an electronic storage medium configured to store the live broadcast event identifier, the broadcaster identifier, the distribution channel identifier and the data subset provisioned to uniquely identify the at least one media segment corollary to the live broadcast event;
an electronic display configured to display at least a portion of the identifying information using the communications device; and
the communications device further configured to send a data packet comprising a file structure containing information corresponding to the live broadcast event identifier, the broadcaster identifier, the distribution channel identifier, and the data subset provisioned to uniquely identify the at least one media segment corollary to the live broadcast event during the broadcast of the live broadcast event.
