Radio receiving device

A radio receiving device comprising:

• a processor to execute a program;
• and
• a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, performs processes of,
• determining a received electric field strength level of a broadcast;
• providing a multipath noise and an adjacent interference noise which are detected from a broadcasting signal with point values corresponding to respective noise component quantity ranges of the multipath and adjacent interference noises;
• having arithmetic expressions in each of which influence of a multipath noise and an adjacent interference noise on quality of reception of a broadcast is indexed, for respective received electric field strength levels, selecting an arithmetic expression corresponding to the received electric field strength level determined from among the arithmetic expressions, and calculating an index value by substituting the point values provided into the selected arithmetic expression;
• and
• when the index value calculated is less than a threshold, determining that a broadcast station for which the index value is acquired is a station selection target, and when the index value is equal to or greater than the threshold, excluding a broadcast station for which the index value is acquired from station selection targets.
