A program information transport apparatus comprises a update unit for
accepting a request for a change in either one of program information and
transmission control information stored in a memory, and for updating the
contents of the memory according to the change at predetermined update
times to update the program information. An information management unit
can acquire the program information from the memory and then furnish the
acquired program information at predetermined transport times to transport
the program information. A transport unit then transports the program
information from the information management unit to receivers.
