I'm pretty knew to coding stuff like this so I'm lost when I see all this and getting Rainmeter to grab it if thats even possible. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Ryan.

If you know beforehand how many shows (maximum) there will be in that time frame you can simply use the WebParser plugin to parse the information. There's plenty of examples and tutorials for that on the forums. I recommend installing RainRegExp to test your regular expressions. Sorting the shows into those time slots might need some additional work with a Lua script, but it's definitely possible.

did you end up getting this to work? I'm looking for something very similar
