Abstract
An enhanced electronic program guide for television programming may be provided by including at least one displayable indicator that is associated with at least one of the programs in the electronic program guide and indicative of the genre of the at least one of the programs. The displayable indicator may be displayed with the program in the electronic program guide, and thus may be more informative to a user, particularly for programs for which the electronic program guide provides a truncated title or name as displayed. In embodiments, the displayable indicator may be a color, a symbol, an icon or the like. Additionally, embodiments may include a displayable indicator, such as an icon, for programs of a particular program series. Such an icon may be displayed with programs of the series in the electronic program guide, and thus may facilitate identification of programs of interest to a user.
