A commercial message timer (114), when enabled by a user, stores data indicative of a first tuned station and begins timing a predetermined time period. Upon expiration of the time period, the first tuned station is automatically reselected if it had been deselected after the timer was enabled. In this way a user can avoid a commercial message on a first channel by setting the timer and scanning through other channels, and yet have the receiver return automatically to the first channel at the end of a time period substantially equal to that of a typical commercial message. In another embodiment employing PIX-IN-PIX circuity, the subject apparatus is responsive to an occurrence of (1) enabling the timer and (2) changing channels, in that order, for automatically moving the desired channel to the inset position. In response to the expiration of the timer period, the program displayed in the inset position is automatically returned to the main display position. |
