"Redo aims to make users shout Yahoo!!"

It's about their entire TV section. There's a specific paragraph
about the listings grid near the end of the article.

You're right, I didn't have to go that far to see that the article as a

around the site and visit different pages. Also, when users click on a
show in the grid, they'll be taken to a page with video clips from that

Checking to see if the above description was correct, I found one

but it's there.

But it's not worth fighting with the ridiculous timeline feature.
