1. A method of programming a recording in a digital broadcasting receiver, comprising: registering a programmed channel among one or more channels; storing broadcast data received from the programmed channel in a storage device as a programmed-recording program in accordance with a predetermined criterion; storing a next programmed-recording program in the storage device to replace the stored programmed-recording program if the programmed-recording program is completely stored and broadcast data corresponding to the next programmed-recording program is received; detecting a change in an event received in the broadcast data received in the programmed channel; determining a time period for a gap between the change in the event in the programmed channel and a subsequent change in the event in the same programmed channel; and deleting from the storage device a portion of the stored programmed-recording program or the next stored programmed-recording program corresponding to the gap when the time period is less than a prescribed amount of time.
