ABSTRACT:
A pager and two-way paging system may be provided which allow the pager user to send a request for television and/or radio programming information. The system compiles television and/or radio programming information which will be of interest to the user, based on a profile of the user's interests filed with the service provider. In a one-way paging system, the service provider makes periodic transmissions of timely programming information of interest to the pager user. In a two-way paging system, the service provider transmits the compiled information when a request is received from the user. The user may also select a program from the information transmitted and instruct the service provider to purchase the program, if pay-per-view, of have the program recorded by the user's VCR.
