iCalendars for BBC Programme Schedules

The BBC publishes its programme schedules in a rich XML format called TV-Anytime. You can subscribe to an iCalendar version of this programme data on this site.

An iCalendar file is intended for use with calendar software such as Apple's iCal or Microsoft's Calendar. It won't mean much in a web browser.

Please note that as of 7 August 2009 the calendar events now include the correct time zone information.
