1. A radio communication device that receives content data being broadcast via radio waves, the radio communication device comprising:

  • a first storage unit that stores time such broadcasting is performed;

    a communication unit that is compatible with a first communication protocol that can capture a channel of the broadcasting, and a second communication protocol different from the first communication protocol;

    a control unit that controls the communication unit to start receiving the content data being broadcast, by using the first communication protocol, at the time stored in the first storage unit; and

    a second storage unit for storing a schedule that is input,wherein the control unit does not activate the second communication protocol when receiving the content data at the time stored in the first storage unit, in a state of having been instructed to transition to a non-radio-wave-transmission state in which radio waves are not transmitted,wherein, in a state of having been instructed to transition to the non-radio-wave-transmission state, when detecting that reception time stored in the first storage unit has come for first content data, the control unit refers to the schedule stored in the second storage unit, andwherein, in a case in which an event that is in progress at the reception time is registered, the control unit controls the communication unit to not receive the first content data if there is a possibility that the event may result in an operation involving transmission of radio waves before finish time of the broadcasting, and the control unit controls the communication unit to receive the first content data if there is not a possibility that the event may result in an operation involving transmission of radio waves before finish time of the broadcasting.
