Large Format Editions |
Page Last Updated: 11/7/2000 |
TV Guide has done it again!
The came out with the new (again!) Large Format editions upon buying the cable magazine "Total TV". To throw a twist into the mix, the editions come out 2 ways: through the local cable company (not available on newsstands) and "off the shelf" (available at grocery stores everywhere...). In addition, the magazine has "migrated" into what they call the "Ultimate Cable" edition, where they list stations not listed anywhere else, but have abandoned the traditional listings format and the infamous "bullets" for an all grid with "TV Guidelines" for some programs.
It looks like TV Guide is pulling out of some of the editions: there is confirmation that both Greater Houston and Cincinnati Metro are no longer in print. No telling which other editions are gone (and what new editions exist).
