The invention relates to a combined broadcast and web radio in a portable device. The device is arranged to switch automatically between broadcast radio and web accessed radio in dependence of received signal strength and quality. The device comprises: a radio receiver tunable to broadcast radio frequencies; a web radio interface adapted to access radio stations through a global communications network; a control unit capable of controlling the radio receiver and the web radio interface and adapted to monitor received signal strength on the radio receiver. The control unit is adapted to switch the device from a broadcast radio reception mode to a web radio reception mode, if the monitored received signal strength of the broadcast radio drops below a first limit.
