Hi,

You can find my solution below. The main trick is the order of programs
maintained by ProgramManager. The programs array contains specific
programs at the beginning (in the reversed order so that a program
added last is placed first), and then repeating programs in order of
their addition.

#  program_manager.rb

class Time
	def seconds
		(hour * 60 + min) * 60 + sec
	end
end

class Program
	attr_reader :channel

	def initialize(program_details)
		@program_start = program_details[:start]
		@program_end = program_details[:end]
		@channel = program_details[:channel]
	end
end

class SpecificProgram < Program
	def record?(time)
		time.between?(@program_start, @program_end)
	end
end

class RepeatingProgram < Program
	WEEKDAYS = %w(mon tue wed thu fri sat sun)

	def initialize(program_details)
		super
		@days = program_details[:days].map {|day| WEEKDAYS.index(day) + 1}
	end

	def record?(time)
		@days.include?(time.wday) && time.seconds.between?(@program_start,
@program_end)
	end
end

class ProgramManager
	def initialize()
		@programs = []
	end

	def add(program_details)
		case program_details[:start]
		when Numeric
			@programs << RepeatingProgram.new(program_details)
		when Time
			@programs[0, 0] = SpecificProgram.new(program_details)
		end

		self
	end

	def record?(time)
		program = @programs.find {|program| program.record?(time)}
		program ? program.channel : nil
	end
end
