If you only know one word in the title, use a Title WishListTM to find
the program. See page 65 for details.
Replace hyphens ( - ), slashes ( / ) and periods ( . ) with spaces. For
example, use CATS DOGS to search for the title “Cats/Dogs.” Any other marks, such as apostrophes ( ’ ), asterisks ( * ), ampersands ( & ) and dollar signs ( $ ) are ignored. For example, you would use
6 OCLOCK NEWS to search for the title “6 O’Clock News.”
