Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that provides media guidance data in which media providers are filtered according to whether or not a media listing associated with the media provider corresponds to a scheduled event. For example, in response to a user request to view scheduled recordings, the media guidance application generates a media guidance display featuring only media providers associated with scheduled recordings. For those media providers, the media guidance application provides both media listings scheduled to be recorded and media listings not currently scheduled to be recorded.
