Welcome to the New Zap2it TV Listings
Following is an overview of the new features of Zap2it’s TV listings:
Available Date Range for TV listings Data: Current listings show one week of TV programming. Zap2it is working to
expand this to include two weeks of programming this May.
Log In: Logged in users are able to save their localization preferences and favorite channels. The log in function is
currently limited to previously registered Zap2it users. We are working to make this feature available to all Zap2it users,
old and new, in May.
Localize Your Grid: Zap2it TV listings default to an Eastern National lineup. To localize your grid, click “Change My
Location” in the upper right hand corner of your grid. You will be prompted to enter your Zip or Postal code and select
your local lineup. Your localized settings will remain in place every time you return to Zap2it as long as your cookies
remain in place and have not been cleared from your browser.
What’s On Tonight: Located at the top of the TV listings grid, What’s on Tonight features 5 TV shows from six popular
networks(ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CW and USA) airing in primetime. Airtimes are noted in EST.
Select Favorite Channels: As a logged in Zap2it user, viewing your favorite channels is now easier than ever. Simply click
on the plus sign next to your favorite channel and refresh the page. You’ll see the plus sign change to a check mark,
indicating that the channel has been added to your favorites. You’ll also see that the channel has automatically moved
to the top of your grid. To unselect a favorite channel, click on the check mark next to the channel, refresh your page,
and the channel will move back into its regular position in the grid.
Filter Grid by Program Type: The new Zap2it TV listings enable you to limit your grid view to only show programming
from a specific genre (Children, News, Movies, Sports, Reality, Music, Lifestyle, International, Drama, Documentary,
Comedy, Art). To limit your view, click on the “All” icon at the top of the grid, select one or multiple program genres and
you’ll see that your grid update to only show programming from the specified genres.

1) Advance by Day Part: In the upper left corner of the grid, there is a drop down that enables you to advance the
grid to Primetime, Daytime or Right Now.
2) Advance by Day: At the top of the grid, you’ll see the current date. To advance the grid to a future date, click on
the box and select the date you’d like to see programming for. Note: The grid currently showcases 7-days of
