Following tuesdays announcement, I’m happy to announce yet another new feature to the website! The Primetime TV Grid is a cool new feature that lets you view the primetime grids (7pm-11pm) for tonight as well as up to 8 days in advance. The channels are CBC, City, CTV, CTV Two, Global, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and PBS. You can also click on the program to view more details about the show.
In the grid, (N) indicates that the episode is a new one and it indicated when it is the premiere of finale episode!
The Primetime TV Grid is located just above the menu. Simply click on it to expand the section that will unveil the primetime grid for tonight. At the bottom of the grid, there’s a day selector where you can select up to 8 days in advance.
Clicking on the highlighted section will expand the section to reveal the grid like below. Try it now!
Stay tuned to Channel Canada for more new features coming very soon!
Too bad that the schedule doesn’t allow for those in other regions to have a correct schedule as well, especially for live events. For example, the hockey game tonight starts at 5 local time here in Vancouver and the PBS station from Seattle airs Charlie Rose at about 2 pm pacific.
Thanks for your comment. This is a new feature and I will evaluate it’s success and depending on its popularity, I might add more features like the ones you’ve described.
The grid looks fine for ET but you say it is from 7pm to 11pm. The 7-8 block is cut off and I can’t seem to find a way to see or scroll back to the 7-8pm
It’s a great feature! I know its probably a lot of work for you but in the future I just wanted to advocate adding a few of the specialty channels too–not all of them but maybe the top ones like Discovery, A&E, MuchMusic, History, Space and Showcase. I’m finding that half the shows I watch are now on the specialty channels so coming here all I see are the nets’ shows.
P.S. I do love this feature though! I like seeing all the Canadian and American nets together and it allows me to arrange my DVR in such a way with timeshifting as necessary.
One more comment. Maybe you could show 7pm to 11pm instead. The 11 o’clock hour is usually news anyhow while several of the Canadian nets air new shows in the 7 o’clock hour.
Thanks for your comments Ally & JR.
Yes, I will move the time back one hour to have 7pm-11pm starting tomorrow.
As for adding specialty channels, it is definitely something I will add to the list of future improvements.
