1. A method for streaming localized content to a mobile device during a program break in an Internet radio program, comprising the steps of:
- streaming from an Internet radio source to a mobile device an Internet radio program;
receiving by the Internet radio source from the mobile device a report including a location of the mobile device;
detecting electronically by the Internet radio source a start marker in the Internet radio program indicating a start of a program break;
identifying by the Internet radio source an explicit indicator of duration of the program break using the start marker;
selecting by the Internet radio source program break content using the reported location of the mobile device and the explicitly indicated duration of the program break;
streaming from the Internet radio source to the mobile device the program break content during the program break; and
resuming by the Internet radio source streaming to the mobile device of the Internet radio program after the program break.
