ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for providing television audio programming that is derived from a broadcast television signal is set forth. The apparatus includes a transceiver that is adapted to selectively receive one of a plurality of broadcast television signals in response to a channel selection signal received at a channel selection input thereof. The transceiver converts the audio signal component of the television signal to a radio signal for reception by a radio receiver. The radio receiver, in turn, converts the radio signal to an audible audio signal corresponding to the television audio programming. The apparatus also includes a control module formed as a unit that is physically distinct from the transceiver. The control module includes a programmable microcontroller, a user interface connected to provide at least channel selection information to the programmable controller, and a display connected for control by the programmable microcontroller to indicate at least channel selection information to a user. The control module also includes a channel selection output connected for control by the programmable microcontroller that provides the channel selection signal to the transceiver.
