Original Abstract Submitted

The present invention relates to a broadcast radio receiving method addressing the desire for allowing a rapid switching between different services as selected by a user. In order to provide an approach for reducing or even avoiding delays involved with service switching tailored to the context of radio broadcast reception, in particular in view of limited tuner resources, and/or in order to provide an approach for addressing a selection of a new service in case of, for example, signal loss, the prediction focuses on the user's sequential selection behavior.
