RADIO SYSTEM INCLUDING TERRESTRIAL AND INTERNET RADIO
First Claim
1. A radio system comprising:
- a radio tuner for receiving a terrestrial radio signal;
a communication device for receiving an Internet data;
a user interface in signal communication with at least the radio tuner to provide a selective control of at least the radio tuner; and
a processor in signal communication with the radio tuner, the communication device, and the user interface, wherein the processor receives a user preference data from at least one of the communication device and the user interface, analyzes the user preference data based on an instruction set, and selectively transmits an audio output to a user based upon the user preference data, wherein a source of the audio output is one of the terrestrial radio signal and the Internet data.
