I have a contact at zap2it if anyone would like me to get information 
from them. The media company I work for has a contract with them for our 
website tv listings so I'm pretty sure I could get some good answers. 
Heck, if enough people are interested in a subscription tv listing 
service I'd be all for putting together a pay-for-listings service. At 
this point though I don't know the costs that would be involved in 
getting a data feed since we use a branded site. We do pay handsomely 
though so there would definitely need to be a lot of people interested.
