Abstract
An apparatus for generating an on-screen television program guide. The apparatus generates a main menu of a program guide, which includes program source information and program event information for a plurality of program sources, and further generates navigation menus for allowing a viewer to modify the program guide. The navigation menus are generated so as to over-write only a portion of the main menu of the program guide.
