A method of and an apparatus for bookmarking channels include a key input unit, which receives a key input for selecting and storing channels by a user, a first memory, which stores at least one channel preferred by the user and input from the key input unit, a second memory, which stores at least one temporary channel input from the key input unit, and a controller which provides an all-channel selection mode, during which all channels are flipped until the user selects one of the flipped channels, a preferred-channel selection mode, during which only the channels stored in the first memory are flipped until the user selects one of them, and a temporary-channel selection mode, during which only the channels stored in the second memory are flipped until the user selects one of the stored channels. Here, controlling the channel flipping is effective for a predetermined period of time and the memory is cleared to erase the temporarily stored channels after the predetermined period of time.
