ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for providing programming. An electronic programming guide (EPG) is received. The EPG has events associated with products and a programming grid simultaneously listing a wrapper associated with each product and each product's associated events. An input is received that scrolls from one product to another product within the electronic programming guide. Another input is received that scrolls from one event to another event within the same product.
