Historical epg data sources for the US

by koolguykso

Hi there! I hope this isnt breaking the no solicitations rules of the post, and if it does feel free to delete this, but I’ve been working on a research project for university and I wanted to know if there were any good sources for EPG guide data for US channels.

Additionally, does anyone know if these sources collect and store historical data? Part of my project is looking through trends in the historical tv guide data to see how certain shows cycle through local/cable/broadcast channels in the US, and this historical guide data would be immensely helpful.

Thanks!

I don't know that it's digitized and online anywhere, but I imagine libraries may be able to help you track down old issues of TV Guide.

eBay, maybe?

I'd shoot schedules direct an email. They might be able to point you in the right direction!
