An improved electronic program guide (EPG) (200) is provided which assists a viewer to quickly and easily identify programs of interest by displaying limited schedule information. The improved EPG (200) includes a series of time tab increments (203) demarcating the start and stop times in minutes of the displayed scheduling information relative to a viewer selected display time (205). In this manner, the viewer is aware of exactly how much time has elapsed and exactly how much time remains to the end of each currently broadcasted program. According to one aspect, a viewer has the option of toggling between the EPG display (200) and an alternate EPG display (700) which further filters the limited schedule information to include only favorite channels of the viewer.
