## Overview
A typical TV listing consists of:
- start and end time*
- show title*
- show description
- episode title
- episode description
** Required field*
Each of these fields can be modified. Alternatively, you can replace an entire listing by selecting a completely new show or episode. If the new show or episode you have selected resides in the PBS database and contains metadata, the metadata is automatically populated in the listing.
> ⚠️ **You are editing one instance of an episode. If an episode appears in more than one place, you must edit it everywhere individually.**
## How to edit the content of a listing
- Search for the listing you want to modify by selecting the **date and time** that the listing appears in your schedule (Figure 1.1).
- Click **Begin Editing Schedule** (Figure 1.2).
Figure 1
- If you do not see all the listings for time you selected, use the **scroll bar located at the bottom of the screen** (Figure 2.1).
- Click the **pencil icon** located in the bottom right corner of the listing you want to modify to begin editing (Figure 2.2).

- Modify any of the fields in the listing (Figure 3.1). In this example we are modifying just the title.
- The duration of the listing is determined by the start and end times (Figure 3.2).
- When finished, click **Confirm** to save your changes (Figure 3.3).
> 📝 The Gracenote import checkbox is checked by default and prevents a listing update from being overwritten by a subsequent import of data (Figure 3.4). Since this box is checked by default, you do not need to do anything.

## Assign listing times
> ❌ **A listing can be assigned to a minimum time of one (1) minute and a maximum of 24 hours. ****[Learn more about modifying listing times](https://pbs-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TLM/pages/5046764)**
- Click the **pencil icon** located in the bottom right corner of the listing you want to modify (Figure 1). In this example, we are assigning a time to an empty time slot.
Figure 1
- Click the** Start and End Time dropdown menus** to choose a time span (Figure 2.1).
- The duration is reflected to the right of the Start and End Times (Figure 2.2).
> ⚠️ **Keep in mind that the TV Listings Manager follows the Calendar day which goes from midnight (12:00 am) to midnight (12:00 am), not the Broadcast day which goes from 6:00 am to 6:00 am. So an update that your TV department says is for August 2 at 1:00 am should be updated for August 3 at 1:00 am in the TV Listings Manager.**
