An advance data stream representing the text of each upcoming broadcast news item is provided in advance of the video broadcast of that news item. The advance data stream is searched for a match with any of the key word criteria previously entered by the subscriber. If a match between the stored user selected key word criteria and the advance data stream is found, the subscriber's VCR is enabled at the appropriate later time to record the desired news item. The VCR cassette contains those news items of interest to the particular subscriber, which the subscriber may watch at, any convenient later time.
