A chat room is broadcast in an interactive television environment for lurking "in" a chat room, without the need for establishing a back channel connection. The present invention provides a mode of chat room broadcasting and communication that can be easily handled by a client device, typically a set top box (STB) processor, an interactive television server and its subscriber clients. The present invention broadcasts chat rooms to clients who may either connect through a back channel to participate in a chat room or simply lurk, that is, to watch the chat room content and discussion in the broadcast without participating or registering in the chat room.
