Abstract: An electronic device is configured to perform different actions (e.g. playing media content) for an alarm in response to a received broadcast signal. The broadcast data received by the device is used to determine what action to perform when the alarm is triggered. The action to be performed may change based on the received broadcast data. For example, different media content may be selected in response to the received broadcast data. The action may also relate to modifying the playback of the media content in response to the broadcast data. The device may also be configured to quantize values into ranges for selection of the appropriate media as well as modify playback of the media in response to the broadcast data.
