    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that select programming information for inclusion in informational displays. In one example, for a particular instance of content stream associated with a content distributor carrying a version of the program at a particular air time, the information retrieval system can determine whether such instance constitutes local programming or national programming. As one example, the system can determine whether a first version of a program is local programming or national programming based at least in part on a comparison of a first content stream that includes the first version of the program with at least one other content stream that is associated with a same content distributor and also associated with a time zone associated with a user.
