A vehicle comprises: a wireless transceiver for transmitting a request for radio presets (stored radio stations) to a plurality of vehicles within a predetermined proximity (distance) of the vehicle; a processor for generating a list of local (e.g., AM, FM) radio stations based on radio presets information received by the wireless transceiver and a user preference for prioritizing the stations; and an audio system for playing audio received from a selected one of the local radio stations. Detection of low (poor) signal strength the vehicle travelling out of local radio station broadcast range may result in a further, new request for presets to a second plurality of proximate (close) vehicles. Use of user preference data may include prioritizing a local radio station list based on popularity among the plurality of vehicles or on genre. The vehicle may further transmit to proximate roadside infrastructure, e.g. communications towers or roadside base stations. Transmitted requests may use dedicated short range communication (DSRC) technology. Alternatively, the wireless communication means may include a digital cellular network, wireless LAN, radio frequency identification (RFID), or near field communication (NFC).
