Not quite as simple as your description of msn but the yahoo uk tv listings 
site is pretty good as was specificly developed as a test case for 
accessibility although I can't remember off the top of my head what it was that 
it was the test cast for EG WCAG, ARIA, etc etc.

Subject: [access-uk] UK TV Listings

Hi all,

A while back, I used to use the MSN TV listings service, however I cannot find 
it to save my life. I liked it because it had a combo box that listed all of 
the channels, and then a simple list of programs including summaries. In short, 
it was simple, but had some advanced features. For example, I could press enter 
on a program name, and a new window would come up with a detailed summary of 
the program, the series information, and info about audio description and 
subtitles.

When doing a Google search for UK TV listings, all I can find is fancy websites 
that use Flash, tables, and other things that really don't get along very well 
with JAWS.

Does anyone know of a site that lists TV programs in a simple, organised 
fashion in the way described at the beginning of this message?

Thanks in advance,
