Use of program-schedule text and closed-captioning text to facilitate selection of a portion of a media-program recording

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed cause a computing device to perform a set of acts comprising:

• accessing first data representing a program schedule of a media program;
• accessing second data representing closed-captioning text of the media program;
• making a determination that first text of the program schedule has at least a threshold extent of similarity with second text of the closed-captioning text, wherein a portion of the media program was recorded proximate a time when a portion of the second data representing the second text of the closed-captioning text was generated;
• using the first text of the program schedule as a basis to select a portion of the program schedule;
• and
• responsive to at least the determination, storing third data indicative of a correlation between the selected portion of the program schedule and the recorded portion of the media program.
