As to your original question, the two most common ways to have a recipe obtain data (like TV listings) are: 1) with an RSS feed (mentioned above), and 2) by scraping a page.
There's no reason a recipe couldn't be written to scrape TV listings from a page if an RSS feed isn't available. It just takes someone who wants it enough to do it.
Typically TV guide data is in a table, and often there are scripts involved, so it might take some effort to get the right data and tweak the formatting, but it's probably quite doable.
