The invention makes it possible for a broadcasting station to easily obtain a total package program with advertisement constituted by a broadcast program and advertisement. A contents holder 200 registers a broadcasting program 210 on a condition that a royalty is to be paid for it when selected by an advertiser 300. An advertiser 300 selects an arbitrary broadcasting program 210 and registers broadcasting area information, broadcasting period information, and information regarding an advertisement in correspondence with the broadcasting program on a charged basis, thereby producing a total package program with advertisement 110. If a distribution request including at least identification information of a total package program 110 with advertisement, identification information of a broadcasting station 500, and information regarding a scheduled broadcasting time is received from the broadcasting station 500 for example, it is judged whether the distribution request satisfies conditions for a broadcasting area and a broadcasting period. If it is judged that the conditions are satisfied, the total package program 110 with advertisement specified by the distribution request is provided to the broadcasting station 500 specified by the distribution request on a free-of-charge basis.
