  • Publication number: 20090307726
    Abstract: Electronic program guide (EPG) data is parsed to identify and categorize age-range appropriate programming content and organize the identified content into kids recommended categories of programming content. In this implementation, information corresponding to the EPG data is organized into at least one custom category based on age specific criteria to generate a kids-recommended program guide (KRPG). The information organized in the category(s) includes corresponding program data descriptions. The program data descriptions are linked to source content data feeds and/or corresponding information in the EPG. The KRPG is in a data format for distribution to any number of client devices to facilitate selection of age-range appropriate program data.
