Gist was always a weird site. It could be an absolute goldmine of information at times, but the clumsy interface and crawling pageloads made it seem like the whole site was being run from a 386 in some guy's basement. Oh well ... I'll miss it.

From their site
So it looks like it's less a 'going out of business' and more a 'lets focus on where we make money'.
Gist will continue to develop and sell its Electronic Program Guide software to global television service providers.

I never liked Gist. It was awkward and not that functional, and I was suprised that people would actually pay for TV listings, unless you are getting TV Guide.
For conveinence's sake, I use Yahoo or Myway's listings. They work, I can tag little favorites, and I stay informed.
