System, method, and apparatus for facilitating media content channels
First Claim
1. A media content channel system for providing a plurality of media content channels to a mobile user, the media content channel system comprising:
- a first network element coupled to provide primary content;
a second network element coupled to provide secondary content; and
a mobile terminal coupled to select the primary content, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a media channel controller coupled to detect the selection of the primary content and coupled to instantiate a secondary media content channel to receive the secondary content in response to the selection of a primary media content channel.

Abstract
A system, method and apparatus that enables end user (402) of mobile terminal (430) to establish primary content channel (426) having primary content feedback provided via path (434). In response, User Interface (UI) logic block (404) detects the primary content channel selection and queries media channel controller (406) for secondary content channel selections that may be instantiated in response to the primary content channel selection. Secondary media channel (428) is automatically established upon an affirmative match made between parameters contained within database (408) and characteristics associated with the primary media channel selection.
