JavaScript - Help A Starter Out

I am new to Javascript and Jquery and am currently redesigning a website for a local television station in Alaska. I have been looking around at a lot of major networks websites for some inspiration and came across something that I really like and would like to do something similar but am not really sure where to start.

At www.usanetwork.com under schedule, I love the way its put together for the station programming. This is something I would really like to emulate and incorporate into the station that I am working for. I don't really want it in the menu like they have it but a link to a page that could show that same structure.

Anyone got any suggestions or can help point me in the right direction?
