Computing system with timing prediction and electronic program guide feature

A tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to perform a set of operations comprising:

• after a determination that a predicted end-time is after a scheduled end-time of a first media program and after a scheduled start-time of a second media program, wherein the first media program is distributed on a first channel by a first distributor, wherein the second media program is scheduled to be distributed at the scheduled start-time on the first channel by the first distributor:
• generating an electronic program guide (EPG) based on the predicted end-time;
• obtaining, based on a priority ranking of content-types of the first media program and the second media program, at least a portion of the second media program distributed on a second channel by a second distributor, wherein the first distributor is different than the second distributor;
• and
• transmitting the EPG and the portion of the second media program to a media presentation device for presentation.
