Yes, that's the "short text", which is normally used to specify the
episode name. Putting the episode name at the beginning of the (long)
description is just wrong.

EPG events have a "title", a "short text" and a "description".
The recommended use is to put the title into the "title",
the episode name (or, for instance, something eqivalent) into
the "short text" and the full desciption into the "description".
