How are you getting your listings?  Are you using XMLTV?

If so, some grabbers (like tv_grab_uk_tvguide) have built in category
mapping.  If your grabber does not have such a feature and you're using
XMLTV, maybe tv_augment might be of use?

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/tv_augment.1p.html
https://github.com/XMLTV/xmltv/blob/master/filter/augment/augment.rules

You could also see if xmlstarlet is available in your distro repo and
postprocess your XML with that.
