1. A method for optimizing bandwidth for data transmission, the method comprising:
accessing a database containing a listing of broadcast channels;
performing broadcast channel comparison, from listing of broadcast channels, to identify a group of related broadcast channels;
determining that the identified group of related broadcast channels are simultaneously, or within a predetermined offset of time, broadcasting content that contains common temporal video content exceeding a video commonality threshold; and
in response to determining that the identified group of related broadcast channels are simultaneously broadcasting content that contains common temporal video content exceeding the video commonality threshold:
selecting one broadcast channel, from the group of identified broadcast channels, as a primary broadcast channel; and
transmitting the common temporal video content to the selected primary broadcast channel instead of transmitting to all broadcast channels in the identified group of related broadcast channels.
