Manual table
(If we don’t get a programmer between now and then, this is what a manually created table view might look like. We can change structure, content, display type, whatever as long as we do this piece by hand. The ones below are automated.)

Overview
(Note this collapse view has an accessibility flaw in the CSS that we should fix regardless of whether we use this view, and also report to CV Pro. It doesn’t show focus during keyboard navigation although keyboard navigation does work. If we can find and use a different view that would be advisable. This one also doesn’t offer a way to indicate time separators. If we want a grid view but programming time doesn’t happen in the interim, we’d want to build a table ourselves.)
