Abstract: A system provides user customized radio (UCR) services, and can provide a subscription-based service that allows a user to select subject matter they wish to hear about on their radios. The system is especially suited for use with digital radio receivers. The system includes features by which each user of the system is able to select from categories of information broadcast to an “intelligent” radio receiver. The specific categories and topics selected result in a customized broadcast where the user receives audio text that match their stored profile from a database of thousands of stories updated daily. This system would require the user to obtain a Digital Radio Receiver (DRR). The UCR system broadcasts the collective stories as broadcast information, that all users have requested. Each DRR searches the broadcast for broadcast information that match its user's requested profile.
