(54)A method and system for presenting messages


(57) A dynamic messaging system (100) receives a message presentation request from a program distributor (106). The message presentation request (310) has a first identifier that identifies the receiving device and a second identifier corresponding to one of a fixed message indicator (406) and a dynamic message indicator (408). In response to receiving the message presentation request (310) identifying the receiving device and the fixed message indicator, the dynamic messaging system retrieves a fixed message (210) from a memory of the receiving device based upon the fixed message indicator (406). In response to receiving the message presentation request identifying the receiving device and the dynamic message indicator (408), the dynamic messaging system receives a dynamic message from an information stream communicated from the program distributor (106).
