Abstract

See full text

A system and method for blocking normal media content signals, such as radio program signals emitted on a speaker and substituting alternative content for blocked signals includes a voice control module operable to receive a blocking command via a microphone. Receiving a blocking command results in the normal content being blocked and predetermined alternative content is played for either a user specified time or a predetermined time. Control over the radio or other media device is completely oral via speech recognition technology. The system may include a predetermined time delay before alternative content is played. The system may include a voice activated survey module (“VAS”) enabling a user to leave comments regarding radio commercial content. Comments are tracked in real time and at finite locations within the content.
