Okay, so I wanted to figure out the TV schedule for Portland, Oregon today. It wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be, but I managed to get it done. Here’s how I went about it.

First, I just did a simple search for “Portland Oregon TV schedule”. Right away, I saw a bunch of results talking about a TV guide and listings for cable, satellite, and even antenna. Sounds promising, right?
Then I started digging a bit deeper. I noticed one result mentioned that the TV guide is specific to your local area. It even said “Not in Portland? Find your city on the TV Guide directory.” That made sense. I also saw something about Xfinity and some other providers in Portland, but I wasn’t really interested in that since I just wanted the general schedule.
Next, I decided to check out what was on some specific channels. I searched for “today’s TV schedule for ABC Portland” and found a result for a channel called KATU. I clicked on it and, boom, there was the schedule for ABC in Portland. Easy peasy.
I wanted to see what was on PBS as well. So I searched for “today’s TV schedule for PBS Oregon”. The result showed something about OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting). I opened that up, and it gave me not just today’s schedule but also the schedule for the next two weeks! That was pretty cool.
- Searched for “Portland Oregon TV schedule”
- Found results about TV guide and listings
- Realized TV guide is location-specific
- Searched for specific channels like ABC and PBS
- Found schedules for KATU (ABC) and OPB (PBS)
Finally, I was curious about a channel called KPDX. I looked it up by searching for “KPDX schedule” and found a TV listings guide. I checked it out, and it showed me what was playing on KPDX tonight.

In conclusion
So, yeah, it took a few steps, but I eventually got the TV schedules I was looking for. The trick was to search for the general listings first and then narrow it down by specific channels. The websites I found were pretty helpful in showing the schedules for today and even the upcoming weeks. It wasn’t too hard once I figured out the right way to search for it.
