Dave,

You'll want to start looking at http://atlas.metabroadcast.com for
details of the atlas API and example code.

I'd also recommend joining the atlasapi group on Google (link on the
atlas page) whilst the kinks are still being worked out. The current
Radio Times feed will be around for a while yet, but will likely be
retired before the end of the autumn (as I understand it).

Cheers,
Nick
