A method for decoding the name of detected radio stations, the method being implemented by a receiving system including at least one radio receiver, each of the received radio signals including a digital datum corresponding, at least intermittently, to the name of the radio station, the method including the following steps: for each radio station belonging to a list of radio stations preselected from the detected radio stations, a first decoding of the digital datum at a first sampling frequency, in order to determine a probable name; for any detected radio station not belonging to the list of preselected radio stations, a second decoding of the digital datum at a second sampling frequency lower than the first, in order to determine a probable name; and measuring a quality of the radio signal and inhibiting the first and second decodings if the quality of the signal drops below a preset threshold.
