1. A system for providing an on-demand, personalized media service and a broadcast service to a set-top-box, comprising: a distribution network, wherein the set-top-box is connected to the distribution network; anda distribution system including a transmission system operable to transmit via the distribution network a media channel comprising a stream of audio and video data, whereinthe set-top-box is operable to: (1) receive the media channel via the distribution network,(2) reproduce the stream of audio data included in the received media channel for a user of the client system to hear,(3) display video corresponding to the stream of video data included in the received media channel on a display device for the user to see,(4) receive via the distribution network video identifier information comprising an identifier for identifying an available on-demand video while displaying on the display device the video corresponding to the stream of video data included in the received media channel,(5) display a user selectable element for requesting the available on-demand video on the display device so that the user selectable element is displayed on the display device together with at least a portion of the video corresponding to the stream of video data as a result of receiving the video identifier information transmitted to the set-top-box using the distribution network, the user selectable element being associated with the available on-demand video, and(6) in response to the user of the set-top-box selecting the user selectable element, causing an on-demand video system to transmit to the set-top-box the available on-demand video by transmitting to the on-demand video system an on-demand request message. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the on-demand request message includes information identifying the on-demand video. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the audio data is associated with an artist and music format, and the meta information comprises information for identifying the artist and/or music format. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the user selectable element is a distinct button. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the on-demand system is configured such that, in response to receiving the on-demand request message, the on-demand system transmits not only the on-demand video, but also transmits another video to the set-top-box. 6. A method for providing an on-demand service to a user of a set-top-box, comprising: receiving at the set-top-box via a cable connected to a network a media channel comprising a stream of audio and video data;the set-top-box displaying on a display device video corresponding to the video data stream;while displaying said video, the set-top-box receiving video identifier information transmitted via the cable connected to the network, said video identifier information comprising an identifier for identifying an available on-demand video;the set top box displaying on the display device, as a result of receiving said video identifier information, a user selectable element for requesting the available on-demand video while also displaying video corresponding to the video data stream so that the user can see the user selectable element while also seeing the displayed video corresponding to the video data stream, the user selectable element being associated with the available on-demand video;the set-top-box detecting that the user has selected the selectable element for requesting the available on-demand video; andin response detecting that the user has selected the selectable element, the set-top-box causing an on-demand video system to transmit to the set-top-box the available on-demand video, wherein causing the on-demand video system to transmit to the set-top-box the available on-demand video comprises the set-top-box transmitting to the on-demand video system an on-demand request message configured to cause the on-demand video system to transmit to the set-top-box the available on-demand video. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the media channel is a digital music channel. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein the audio data is associated with an artist and music format, and the meta information comprises information for identifying the artist and/or music format. 9. The method of claim 6, further comprising: selecting another video; andtransmitting the another video to the client system as part of the on-demand session in response to receiving the message transmitted from the client system, whereinthe step of selecting the another video comprises interpreting one or more scripts, andthe another selected video is selected based, at least in part, on a profile associated with the user. 10. The method of claim 6, further comprising: causing the client system to display a second selectable element;providing information to the client system that causes the client system to transmit to the on-demand system information indicating that the second element was selected in response to the user selecting the second element; andafter the on-demand system receives the information indicating that the second element was selected, transmitting from the on-demand system to the client system information identifying a set of videos, whereineach video in said set is associated with a format associated with the broadcast media channel isolated by the client system when the user selected the second element. 11. The method of claim 6, further comprising: causing the client system to display a second selectable element;providing information to the client system that causes the client system to transmit to the on-demand system information indicating that the second element was selected in response to the user selecting the second element; andafter the on-demand system receives the information indicating that the second element was selected, transmitting from the on-demand system to the client system information identifying a set of popular music videos within an area in which the client system is located. 12. The method of claim 6, further comprising: causing the client system to display a second selectable element;providing information to the client system that causes the client system to transmit to the on-demand system information indicating that the second element was selected in response to the user selecting the second element; andafter the on-demand system receives the information indicating that the second element was selected, transmitting from the on-demand system to the client system information identifying a set of sub-categories associated with a format associated with the broadcast media channel isolated by the client system when the user selected the second element. 13. The method of claim 6, further comprising the steps of: providing information to the client system that causes the client system to transmit to the on-demand system information identifying the user and/or the client system in response to the user selecting the user selectable element; andafter receiving the information identifying the user and/or the client system, determining whether there is included in a set of channel profiles one or more channel profiles associated with the user and/or the client system. 14. A method for providing an on-demand service to a user of a set-top-box, comprising: receiving at the set-top-box via a cable connected to a network a media channel comprising a stream of audio and video data;the set-top-box displaying on a display device video corresponding to the video data stream;while displaying said video, the set-top-box receiving on-demand video information transmitted via the cable connected to the network;the set top box displaying on the display device, as a result of receiving the on-demand video information, a user selectable element for requesting information identifying a set of available on-demand videos while also displaying the video corresponding to the video data stream so that the user can see the user selectable element while also seeing the displayed video corresponding to the video data stream, the user selectable element being associated with the set of available on-demand videos;in response to the user of the client system selecting the user selectable element, the set-top-box transmitting to an on-demand system an on-demand request message for causing the on-demand system to transmit to the set-top-box the information identifying the set of available on-demand videos;the set-top-box receiving displaying a menu of the available on-demand videos as a result of receiving the information. 15. The method of claim 14, further comprising: in response to the user selecting one of the available on-demand videos identified in the menu, the set-top-box transmitting to an on-demand video system a second on-demand request message for causing the on-demand video system to transmit to the set-top-box the selected available on-demand video.
