APPARATUS AND METHODS OF ENHANCING RADIO PROGRAMMING
First Claim
1. A method of enhancing radio programming, comprising:
- receiving a broadcast radio transmission at a communication device, wherein the broadcast radio transmission comprises primary content and supplemental content having a relationship to the primary content, wherein the primary content comprises a first audio data, wherein the supplemental content comprises a non-audio data; and
converting the supplemental content into converted supplemental content having the relationship to the primary content, wherein the converted supplemental content comprises second audio data converted from the non-audio data.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods enhancing radio programming include receiving a broadcast radio transmission at a communication device. The broadcast radio transmission includes primary content and supplemental content having a relationship to the primary content. Further, the primary content includes a first audio data, while the supplemental content includes audio data. Additionally, the apparatus and methods include converting the supplemental content into converted supplemental content, maintaining the relationship to the primary content. Moreover, the converted supplemental content includes second audio data converted from the non-audio data. Thus, the described apparatus and methods allow the communication device to output signals for generating audible representations of both the primary content and the supplemental content.
