TV listings are copyrighted…the only way to get a “free” listing for commercial use would be to compile it yourself. There is no source for “free” listings (for commercial use) that contain daily, weekly or monthly schedules of most/all channels. In assembling the TV listings, the company that does the work (such as TV Guide, Tribune Media Services, etc.) owns the copyright and licenses it to newspapers, websites, magazines, etc., for their commercial reuse.
