Abstract: Devices, systems and processes are disclosed for automated content availability management. A process may include executing, by a first processor in a programming server, computer instructions which instantiate a program engine that instructs the programming server to perform first operations including receiving a program status change message from a content source, wherein the program status change message identifies a program, of a plurality of programs provided by the content source to one or more user devices, subject to a change in program availability, extracting from the program status change message an immediacy status for the change in program availability, determining whether the immediacy status is imminent or not imminent, generating a program instruction when the immediacy status is imminent, wherein the program instruction identifies the program subject to the change in program availability, and communicating the program instruction to an access designation server.
