Abstract
A method, mobile device and computer program product are provided for automatically determining the frequencies of one or more radio stations available in the location in which a user (and, therefore, his or her mobile device) is located and presetting those frequencies to the mobile device. In addition, a means by which the user can automatically continue listening to the same radio station (e.g., KISS FM) using a different radio frequency channel associated with that station, as he or she travels and the radio frequency channel to which he or she is currently tuned becomes weak is also provided.
