I see that. I just figured that by using external files the script
wouldn't grow to outrageous sizes plus the user could replace/update the
master file without having to replace the script itself.

I imagine for most of the channels that would be fine.
One thing I've noticed is that I have some channels with different channel
numbers but identical "names". You might consider checking the list for
duplicate names and only pass through a name once. For example I've
got several channels named "PPV" and have to go through and skip through
each one at a time :)

the station "KAFT PBS Fayetteville" with a url/filename of
