I doubt it, they list pretty much everything. Considering the scope of what they list, by all the markets they list for and the frequency of publication, I would venture to bet most of what they publish is auto generated from databases supplied by the networks.

My bet is it is either a simple mistake or you may have a different program listing for Starz in your market versus others.

That the program description might have been outsourced, as it were, is plausible. The omission of “Facing The Giants” from the TV Guide database is, on the other hand, suspect.

My TV Guide settings are specific to my location, east coast, and service provider, Dish Network....not that that’s germane, as Dish and TV Guide both list the showings on Monday the 17th. However, the search function for the TV Guide site should show results for “Facing The Giants” if it was, in fact, in its database...especially as it is in the date-specific program listing. How would you explain that a site word search would not show a result of a listing containing those words (neither “Facing” nor “Giants” are words commonly excluded from searches, and some of the results did contain those words), in light of the fact that the site’s program guide list the film showings, other than by deliberate human intervention?
