The Packers are indeed playing the Cleveland Browns on Saturday night on Channel 4, whether you're watching over-the-air, on satellite or on southeast Wisconsin's biggest programming provider.
If you're planning to schedule your digital video recorder to catch the pre-season game, the guide should be updated by Thursday.
Here's how it works: programming information is sent to the Tribune Media Services (which handles the guide) from the individual channels.
Time Warner has contacted the programming department at Channel 4, which assures them they'll send the updated information to Tribune Media Services. The estimate is that it could take up to 24 hours to update the on-screen guide, but it could be quicker.
If you program your DVR to record the gymnastics in hope of getting the game, that scheduling will be wiped up when the program guide is updated.
UPDATE: The program guide has been corrected, and now features a pre-game show at 6:30, followed by the Packers-Browns pre-season game at 7 p.m.
Tim Cuprisin is the media columnist for OnMilwaukee.com. He's been a journalist for 30 years, starting in 1979 as a police reporter at the old City News Bureau of Chicago, a legendary wire service that's the reputed source of the journalistic maxim "if your mother says she loves you, check it out." He spent a couple years in the mean streets of his native Chicago, and then moved on to the Green Bay Press-Gazette and USA Today, before coming to the Milwaukee Journal in 1986.
A general assignment reporter, Cuprisin traveled Eastern Europe on several projects, starting with a look at Poland after five years of martial law, and a tour of six countries in the region after the Berlin Wall opened and Communism fell. He spent six weeks traversing the lands of the former Yugoslavia in 1994, linking Milwaukee Serbs, Croats and Bosnians with their war-torn homeland.
In the fall of 1994, a lifetime of serious television viewing earned him a daily column in the Milwaukee Journal (and, later the Journal Sentinel) focusing on TV and radio. For 15 years, he has chronicled the changes rocking broadcasting, both nationally and in Milwaukee, an effort he continues at OnMilwaukee.com.
When he's not watching TV, Cuprisin enjoys tending to his vegetable garden in the backyard of his home in Whitefish Bay, cooking and traveling.
