Systems, methods, and devices for retrieving local broadcast source presets

A method for determining broadcast source presets for a media device comprising:

• receiving broadcast media,
• determining the location of the media device and generating media device location data, and
• storing at least one data network address for a media data server, the media data server including a list of broadcast source settings,
• storing a preset list of broadcast source settings,
• sending the media device location data to the media data server,
• retrieving a location-based list of broadcast source settings associated with the location of the media device,
• comparing the preset list with the location-based list, and
• determining a local preset list from the retrieved location-based settings that match the preset settings.

A media device comprising:

• a broadcast receiver for receiving broadcast media,
• a location sensor for determining the location of the media device and generating media device location data, and
• a data store for storing:
• i) a list of a plurality of broadcast radio sources and associated broadcast source settings and ii) a preset list of broadcast source settings,
• a processor for:
• i) for determining a location-based list of broadcast sources in the vicinity of the media device by comparing the location of the media device with the location of the plurality of broadcast radio sources, ii) comparing the preset list with the location-based list and ii) determining a local preset list from the retrieved location-based settings that match the preset settings.

A computer-readable medium that stores instructions executable by a media device to cause the media device to perform a method for determining broadcast source presets, the method comprising:

• receiving broadcast media,
• determining the location of the media device and generating media device location data, and
• storing a list of a plurality of broadcast radio sources and associated broadcast source settings,
• storing a preset list of broadcast source settings,
• determining a location-based list of broadcast sources in the vicinity of the media device by comparing the location of the media device with the location of the plurality of broadcast radio sources,
• comparing the preset list with the location-based list, and
• determining a local preset list from the retrieved location-based settings that match the preset settings.
