         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the promotion selection command indicates that the metadata related to the selected promotion is to be sent to the selected communication device associated with the media processing system. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the sending, by the media processing system, the metadata to the management system further comprises sending contact information related to the selected communication device.   
     
     
         8 . A machine-readable storage device, comprising executable instructions which, responsive to being executed by a media processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising:
 receiving a promotion selection command identifying a selected promotion from a plurality of promotions provided by the media processing system to a display device;   accessing metadata corresponding to the selected promotion responsive to receiving the promotion selection command;   sending the metadata to a management system; and   sending an identification of a selected communication device to the management system, to cause the management system to deliver a version of the selected promotion, based on the metadata, to the selected communication device via a communication network, wherein the selected communication device presents the version of the selected promotion at a display of the selected communication device.   
     
     
         9 . The machine-readable storage device of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving data from the management system indicating that a plurality of communication devices are associated with the media processing system;   presenting a menu at the display device identifying the plurality of communication devices associated with the media processing system; and   receiving a selection according to the menu of the selected communication device of the plurality of communication devices.   
     
     
         10 . The machine-readable storage device of  claim 8 , wherein the version of the selected promotion comprises a reformatted version of the selected promotion. 
     
     
         11 . The machine-readable storage device of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving video content associated with the selected promotion via an access network of a video distribution system. 
     
     
         12 . The machine-readable storage device of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise presenting a graphical menu of the plurality of promotions that includes selectable indicators of promotions received at the media processing system within a particular period of time prior to receipt of the promotion selection command at the media processing system. 
     
     
         13 . The machine-readable storage device of  claim 8 , wherein the promotion selection command indicates that metadata related to the selected promotion is to be sent to the selected communication device associated with the media processing system. 
     
     
         14 .
