ABSTRACT:
An internet-based personalizable broadcast network for viewing information in the form of streaming audio and/or video. The network includes an input for receiving streaming media content, organized into a plurality of news channels. The network includes some type of media server for playing the received streaming media content as a presentation to a user. The network further includes storage for an array of cursors. At least some of the plurality of news channels have at least one associated cursor in the array of cursors and an associated cursor indicates where, in the news channel associated with that associated cursor, the presentation of the news channel stopped. Logic is provided for updating the array of cursors as news channels are provided to the user thereby allowing the user to limit repetition of news channels, or portions of news channels, already presented to the user.
