Abstract
A receiver and methods of providing a single source of programming to a remote location. The receiver includes a receiver circuit configured to provide a single source of programming to a user, such as broadcasts of athletic events for a particular team or university, or the broadcasts of a particular radio station. A dedicated frequency radio at a remote location is matched to a pre-selected designated source broadcast for playing the broadcast at the remote location where the broadcast is not otherwise received, or cannot be easily located.
