Here is an example for a local TV guide:
http://www.tvguide.com/Listings/index.asp?I=60797&zip=33019

We are looking for two web based U.S. TV guides similar to the listed.
These two TV guides must meet the following requirements:

A.	Absolutely, positively NO pop-ups. 
B.	No registration process. (With exception of providing the ZIP code
to display the correct local results.)
C.	Significantly less or NO advertisement compared to the
above-mentioned TV guide.

This is a difficult task. We are looking for the proverbial needle in
the haystack.

We are offering $10 per TV guide. If you succeed to find more than one
TV guide that will fulfill A through C, you will get a tip of
$10. In other words, you will receive a total of $20 if you locate two
(or more) TV guides.

I am glad to have been able to help you locate a television guide that
is relatively hassle-free. I've reposted the link below:

MSN Entertainment: TV Listings
http://entertainment.msn.com/tv/

Here are two other guides that you may want to check out:

Excite TV
http://www.excite.com/tv/data.jsp?f=1

Zap2it TV 
http://tvlistings.zap2it.com

I hope this helps! Please request clarification if anything is
unclear, or if a link does not function. I'll be glad to offer further
assistance before you rate my answer.

Best regards,

The Researcher tried very hard to find the impossible. The last two
links had pop-ups when you left the sites, one link even had a
sign-up. In conclusion, I feel the researcher did the best possible
job UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. It is not exactly what I was looking for
. . . but I will have to compromise. THANK YOU! And I hope we will
cooperate in the future.

I actually got fed up with TVGuide.com and switched to Yahoo, the url
is http://tv.yahoo.com/grid?

I'm not sure if you have to register or not, it's been a while but I
don't think you do. Hope this helps

Thank you very much for your help. The goal of finding a TV guide
WITHOUT registration is probably "mission impossible." I will settle
for the choices you provided. This will help us to finish our webtool
(www.e-webtool.com) faster. THANKS!

It is the best site anybody located. (The YAHOO site requires an
EXTENSIVE registration process.)

Consequenlty, feel free to post the msn site as ONE of the two
required answer. You are authorized to receive $10. Fair enough?
