Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a method for updating an available station list by a radio receiver in a radio data system (RDS) and a radio receiver thereof. A method of updating an available station list by a radio receiver in a radio data system (RDS) comprises receiving data blocks for a first radio program, one of the data blocks including a program identification (PI) code, checking if an available station list stored in a memory of the radio receiver contains an extended county code (ECC) for a second radio program, the list including items of a PI, a program service name (PS), and an ECC for at least one radio program, when the list contains the ECC, obtaining a PS of the first radio program based on the received PI code and the ECC of the second radio program, and updating the list so as to contain the PI and the PS of the first radio program.
