On-Screen TV Schedule

Online TV Schedule

You can choose any of the following formats for viewing and printing the TV schedule.


We have provided three ways for you to view and print the TV schedules:

"Day at a Glance" - A daily schedule formatted to fit each day's schedule on a single 8.5X11 page. This version lets staff and patients quickly find out what's playing at a specific time of the day. This schedule is similar to the TV guide included with your local newspaper and is best utilized in waiting areas and at Nurses stations. It can also be inserted in Patient Admission packets.

"By Category" - The TV schedule sorted by disease state or category of programming. This version lets staff and patients quickly find all of the programs airing through out the week within a specific category. Use this version as an "education prescription" by circling recommended programs within a category for a specific patient (e.g. Diabetes). There is also room at the bottom of the schedule for patients, family and friends to write notes or questions about the programs. This version is best utilized in Patient Admission packets.

"Week at a Glance" - The week's schedule formatted to fit on a single 8.5X11 page. This version can be printed on a color or black/white printer. NOTE: The type size may be difficult for many patients to read especialy after photocopying. Most hospital staff recommends the schedule "By Category" or "Day at a Glance" for in-hospital distribution to patients.
