Data of channel number, broadcast date, and broadcast time zone of the received broadcast program are additionally stored into a received program history memory in correspondence to each other. A channel number of a broadcast program having a broadcast date that is precedent to today's date by a predetermined number of days and a broadcast time zone that coincides with the present time is searched for from the received program history memory. A station selection control operation to control the receiving part is performed to receive a broadcast wave of the searched out channel number, to start the recording of the broadcast program received by the recording part.
