1. A user station for providing interactivity to a public radio network that broadcasts a digital radio program, wherein a server selectively merges visual advertisements with the digital radio program at allotted time slots, and concurrently transmits the merged digital radio program and the visual advertisements to a plurality of users, the user station comprising:

  • a receiver for playing the digital radio program and for displaying the visual advertisements;

    the receiver further including a means for enabling a user to select the digital radio program;

    wherein, in response to a user selection of the digital radio program made on the receiver, the receiver automatically queries the server based on the user selection, over a separate network, without interruption to the digital radio program; and

    wherein in further response to the user selection, the server retrieves additional data related to the selected digital radio program, and transmits the additional data to the receiver over the separate network, thus enabling a dual-channel communication of the user station with the server in order to achieve interactivity with the public radio network.
