Generation of media station previews using a secondary tuner

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon program instructions that upon execution by a processor, cause performance of a set of acts comprising:

• while a media playback device is playing back first content received on a first channel broadcast by a first radio station, determining, using a classifier, that second content received on a second channel comprises audio content, wherein the second content is broadcast by a second radio station;
• generating, using the audio content, a query fingerprint based on the determining that the second content comprises the audio content;
• sending a preview request comprising the query fingerprint to a server that maintains a reference database containing a plurality of reference fingerprints;
• in response to sending the preview request, receiving, from the server, identifying information corresponding to a reference fingerprint of the plurality of reference fingerprints that matches the query fingerprint;
• and
• while the media playback device is playing back the first content received on the first channel, providing at least a portion of the identifying information for display.
