About TVTimes.com

TVTimes.com began in 1996 when I saw that TVTimes.com had become available. This was during the early days of the web when a person could still get lucky and find an available meaningful domain name. Shortly after, I worked with local TV stations in the Tampa Bay area and they physically mailed me, and later emailed me, their weekly primetime lineups.

There were no content management systems or APIs back then. Everything was done by hand. I entered the schedules in a desktop database and created Visual Basic macros that generated about fifty static HTML pages every week. It was a lot of work, but I created something new for its time: a simple and organized TV guide that people could access online.

Today, with modern tools and reliable data sources, TVTimes.com is being rebuilt with the same goal it had in 1996. It is still a personal project, and the focus remains on clarity, speed, and usefulness. The site will continue to evolve, but the idea behind it has stayed the same for more than thirty years. I have always referred to the site as TVTimes.com, including the .com, to avoid confusion with other uses of the name.

Why TVTimes.com Exists

TVTimes.com exists to give people a simple and straightforward way to look up TV shows and where to watch them. The goal has always been to provide clear information without clutter or distraction. It is meant to be a reliable reference for show details, seasons, episodes, and streaming availability.

The site is not trying to be everything. It is meant to be a clean and dependable place to find the information you need, built with the same practical approach that shaped the original version in 1996.
