Abstract

A mobile terminal and method of controlling a broadcast therein are disclosed, by which a currently-output broadcast content can be continued to be output despite expiration of a validity term of a broadcast viewing authority. The method includes acquiring a first broadcast viewing authority, receiving and outputting a first broadcast content if the first broadcast viewing authority is acquired, determining whether a validity term of the acquired first broadcast viewing authority expires within a broadcast time of the output first broadcast content, and if the validity term expires within the broadcast time, displaying an image for a purchase of the first broadcast content.
