Abstract

In a method of selectively supplying users with media items by an operator, the user has choice options among the choice items and a user profile at least for a user group, in particular for an individual user, is produced on the basis of the user characteristics of the user in relation to the choice options. The user is then supplied with selective items which are selected to suit the user profile. The apparatus involves a data connection between user and operator, and a mixer for mixing user choice items and operator selective items. A control unit contains user profiles and controls selection of selective items, with user profile updating.
