Get notification when a movie from your watchlist is going to be aired on TV
I haven't found a still working in 2021 way to achieve this. I have a list of movies I'd like to watch, which are hard to find on streaming platforms (or anywhere else), so I rely on a cable/sat/antenna TV. I'm looking for a method to automatically monitor tv guide for those movies. Any help, please?

In which country?
In which time zone?
Which channels are included? Network? Basic cable? Premium cable?
I agree it would be a useful feature, but logistically, it would be difficult to control for all those variables.
I imagine it would be possible to build a custom API for Firefox that can monitor TV listings and send you a notification.

I didn't mean it as a Criticker feature. I'm asking if such service exists anywhere.

You need to coble something together yourself. Setup Google alerts on TV guide websites and display them in an RSS feed.
