TV Guide Mobile--Argh!

It is actually a good app, and I used it...until I found an old program I liked and decided to hit the "Favorites" button.

And the app decided to be helpful and alert me every time the show came on. :rolleyes:

It not only pops onto the notification bar--it also has a little sonar-y sound, which is amazingly loud when you are trying to sleep. And apparently this particular show plays all night long on cable, over and over and over...

I could not find a way to delete a favorite, only to add one. So I removed the app and went to bed.

Fifteen minutes later, it starts pinging me again:( and on through the night.

Apparently, once you mark a show as a favorite in the TV Guide app, it transfers that to Google Calendar (which I never used) and keeps it there into eternity.

I got into Google Calendars and cannot find a way to delete a recurring event, only a single event or all previously-alerted events. I turn off audible notifications, and it turns them back on when it feels a suitable period has passed (IOW, when I am satisfied that it has stopped.)

Can anyone help me stop this before I go stark, raving mad?

A cable channel is showing this show constantly this weekend. It is alerting me every fifteen minutes.
