Yes and no... Our contract with Tribune does include information on 
sending corrections.  This will very helpful with lineup errors.

There is a chance that the new feed source may be more current than the 
Zap2IT Labs source, but we won't know until we start using it. .  I can 
see Tribune requiring details like the guest on  The Daily Show to come 
only from the stations.

Schedules Direct does have some long term plans to augment the Tribune 
data with additional updates, but we're not sure how that will play out 
yet.  Partially it depends on the number of subscribers we get.  All 
that said, our primary focus is 9/1. Once we're up and running we'll be 
able to work on issues like this.
