Line 25: ====North America==== In 1981, [[Gemstar-TV Guide International\|United Video Satellite Group]] launched the first EPG service in [[North America]], a cable channel known simply as [[History of Pop (~~U.S.~~American TV ~~network~~channel)\|The Electronic Program Guide]]. It allowed cable systems in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]] to provide on-screen listings to their subscribers 24 hours a day (displaying programming information up to 90 minutes in advance) on a dedicated cable channel. Raw listings data for the service was supplied via [[communications satellite\|satellite]] to participating cable systems, each of which installed a computer within its headend facility to present that data to subscribers in a format customized to the system's unique channel lineup. The EPG Channel would later be renamed Prevue Guide and go on to serve as the de facto EPG service for North American cable systems throughout the remainder of the 1980s, the entirety of the 1990s, and – as TV Guide Network or TV Guide Channel – for the first decade of the 21st century.
