Custom Programs
This page is used to add programming information to an existing station. You can only
program custom stations; TV stations (if present) are auto-programmed by a Channel Guide
Server. You use the Custom Programs page to manually create programming data and
associate it with a Custom Station. For example, you may want to modify the Channel Guide
so that "Monday Night Football" is shown in the 8–10 P.M. time slot on Monday nights from
September through January.

TTo add custom programming to a custom station:
1. Click on Custom Programs to display the Custom Stations page.

Custom Station from this list and then click Add New Custom Program.
3. Use the fields explained below to create custom programming for the selected station.
Click on the header titles as appropriate to sort the entries in the list.
4. Use the horizontal slider bar to display all fields. When done, click Add. The program will
be added to the specified time slot and you will see a view similar to Figure 16 when you
mouseover the item in the Channel Guide on the user interface.
