A mobile handset and method therefor automatically limit user selection of local broadcast channels to those that are active. Location-related information sourced by an external node, such as RNSS position information from RNSS satellites or a cellular identification value sourced by a network access node, and received on the handset is applied to identify active local TV channels and the mobile handset limits selection of local TV channels by a user of the mobile handset to the active local TV channels. Identification of active local TV channels includes a first instance identification based on a lookup operation performed on the mobile handset and a second instance identification based on an active channel query/response exchange between the mobile handset and a server node, wherein the second instance identification is applied to update the first instance identification.
