A device and method for displaying a broadcast program guide in a broadcast programmed recording system (referred to as immediate-K), wherein the method includes the steps of (a) loading a plurality of packets containing broadcast information among successively input data to periodically separate the broadcast program information therefrom, (b) comparing a current time with the start or end time of a next program from the broadcast program information separated in the step (a), and (c) displaying information of the broadcast program on a screen if the start or end time of the next program is a predetermined time later than the current time as a result of the step (b). The device includes a code extractor which periodically extracts the broadcast program information, a storage device which stores the extracted information and a controller which compares the current time with the start or end time of the next program and causes the broadcast information to be displayed if the start or end time of the next program is a predetermined time later than the current time. Thus, a viewer is automatically informed of an upcoming broadcast program by the display of the broadcast information of the program a predetermined time before the program starts.
