A system ( 100 ) and method ( 300 ) are disclosed for exchanging content between communication devices. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a communication device ( 200 ) having a transceiver ( 202 ) for exchanging messages with alternate communication devices ( 104 - 112 ), and a controller ( 214 ) for managing operations of the transceiver. The controller is programmed to scan ( 302 ) for an alternate communication device, detect ( 302, 304 ) the alternate communication device, request ( 306 ) from the alternate communication device a log of subscribed content acquired by the alternate communication device from an alternate source, identify ( 312 ) a desirable portion of the subscribed content, transmit ( 316 ) to the alternate communication device a peer-to-peer request for the desirable portion of the subscribed content according to one or more available subscriptions, and receive ( 320 ) from the alternate communication device the desired portion of the subscribed content. Additional embodiments are also disclosed.
