WTVD and some other ABC stations nationwide opted to buck the trend and 
stay on VHF. This means the UHF antennas that 99% of folks are using 
will not work for ABC. I don't know which genius at ABC decided this was 
a smart move but he or she is probably looking for work now.

As to the original question, TV Guide has a nice site that will let you 
view schedules. Also, if you have a MythTV server you can view a great 
program listing webpage through the MythWeb interface.

Myth downloads its schedules from SchedulesDirect 
(www.schedulesdirect.com), which in turn gets it from Tribune Media 
Services. Back in November there was mention on SD's website that they 
may offer TV listings on the web. So far nothing's come of it that I can 
find.
