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.
