Automatic transmission content selection

A computer program product for automatically selecting broadcast content at a broadcast receiver, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code readable and executable by a processor to:

• receive and present a first broadcast content from a first channel on a broadcast receiver, wherein the broadcast receiver has multiple channels on which broadcast content is received;
• detect a second broadcast content from a second channel on the broadcast receiver;
• determine whether the second broadcast content has a higher user-rating than the first broadcast content;
• determine whether a progress state of the first broadcast content meets a user-set conclusion preference, wherein the user-set conclusion preference describes a user's level preference for experiencing a conclusion of broadcast content;
• and
• in response to determining that the second broadcast content has the higher user-rating than the first broadcast content, and in response to determining that the progress state of the first broadcast content meets the user-set conclusion preference, automatically switch the broadcast receiver from the first channel to the second channel.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium;
• first program instructions to receive and present a first broadcast content from a first channel on a broadcast receiver, wherein the broadcast receiver has multiple channels on which broadcast content is received;
• second program instructions to detect a second broadcast content from a second channel on the broadcast receiver;
• third program instructions to determine whether the second broadcast content has a higher user-rating than the first broadcast content;
• fourth program instructions to determine whether a progress state of the first broadcast content meets a user-set conclusion preference, wherein the user-set conclusion preference describes a user's level preference for experiencing a conclusion of broadcast content;
• and
• fifth program instructions to, in response to determining that the second broadcast content has the higher user-rating than the first broadcast content, and in response to determining that the progress state of the first broadcast content meets the user-set conclusion preference, automatically switch the broadcast receiver from the first channel to the second channel;
• and
• wherein
• the first, second, third, fourth and fifth program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.
