TV Times £3.00 TV & Satellite Week £3.00 Total TV Guide £2.50 What's on TV £1.00 TV Choice £1.00 There's really no need to go beyond either of the cheap ones unless you have a traditional buying habit for a Christmas TVT or RT. TV & Sat Week being 50p more expensive than Total TV seems a bad move. |

Slightly disappointed this year that the guides haven't been issued to cover Christmas & New Year listings (i.e. 24th Dec-6th Jan double issue). I guess they decided that starting on Christmas Eve would be "too close" to Christmas day. Interestingly the TV Times has the strapline "The ORIGINAL Christmas TV guide". |

Thanks for that list. Managed to get the TV Times (incl.Christmas issue) as part of a cheap sub. offer this year...special issue just dropped through the letterbox this morning - 196 pages, looks a reasonable read but overpriced at £3 (as is the standard mag).

I paid for the TV Times Digital Version, not remembering I had a subscription, which could my mind blank, while having to revert my tablet back to new.
On when is this thread being shut for Christmas, it isn't really and be used. But as Im a Regular user of the Radio Times Christmas Thread, I didn't want to steal there thunder. Remember the next edition is out on Christmas Eve, which In my mind will be when this thread really gets going, as we will have no boundaries. |

I can't think why Total TV Guide doesn't have listings for 4seven in it's magazine particularly as this channel is one of the few to be broadcast in HD on Freeview?

UK TV Magazine Thread (Except for Christmas when we will shut)
Quote:
This weekend's mags in the papers were printed before the New Year listings were available (70p for the next three weeks TV listings and a worthless newspaper still isn't bad though).
Sunday Times should have New Year in tomorrow's Culture as it's printed later. the 25th of December and the 31st of December Even though I have had all the magazines through the Post except for the Radio Times which I am still waiting for P.S. The Mail is not a worthless newspaper I used to quite like reading it |

So, it came on Thursday? Better than the Radio Times subscription situation, but still not great, as TV Times seemed to be widely available by last Monday.
