They've dropped the listings for children's channels, and a few minor channels.
A nice improvement and something the RT used to do, they've introduced pictures of each channel's logo at the top of the column.
I've never seen such detailed listings in the budget sector. The magazine costs 2p more than it did before Christmas and there are 12 extra pages in total.”
I wonder if this is in response to TV Choice revamping before Christmas? TV Choice revamped along similar lines - expanding listings content and including logos at the top! I always bought WOTV up until I got the £1 for 12 issues offer of the RT (which covered the Christmas Double issue!) - due to end soon so will probably go back to WOTV.
Off the top of your head, do you recall or see what minor channels they've dropped? Also, are they now including Movies4Men, CBS Action and/or Trutv? - all 3 weren't in it before, and the 1st 2 appear in very few mags.
Anyway thanks for the heads up - much appreciated.
