PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an electronic program guide with excellent user-friendliness by providing a display means, which can display program contents with reduced display areas except a broadcast time of a program selected at present, to the electronic program guide display device so as to increase number of programs able to be displayed at once in the electronic program guide. SOLUTION: A cell size decision section 23 extracts program information stored in a program information storage section 31 and discriminates whether or not the extracted program information is the same as a program selected at present and stored in a cursor position storage section 34. In the case that the extracted program information is the same as the program selected at present, number of cell lines enough to display the program information of the program that is selected is calculated and the calculated line number is outputted as cell size information. In the case that the extracted program information is not the same as the program selected at present, the cell size information of one line is outputted. A program table provision section 35 receiving the program information outputted from the program information storage section 31 and the decided cell size information generates cells to display contents of each program information and provides an output of the result as a program table to a monitor 36.
