RE: UKNM: TV listings wanted

[Sam Michel]

You could try Broadcast Data Services, who offer a number of services from

plain old TV listings, to listings with programme info. I'm pretty sure

they cover all the channels. Their website is:


http://www.broadcastingdata.com

or Telephone: 020 8280 2000


although there's not much there! Leslie's right about the copyright. If I

remember rightly, and it's been a while, there was a copyright tribunal on

TV listings a while back regarding the costs and ownership of TV listings

information to make life easier (a bit) for publishers.
