Advantages: A good Christmas read

Disadvantages: So many free ones about now

I used to subscribe to both this and the TV times but since the advent of free TV guides with the newspapers and also the sheer volume of TV channels with Digital TV, I have stopped buying this.
I wonder how many other people now do not buy this and other similar magazines?
If the readership is failing, how long will it continue? will it be consigned to a Christmas appearance only??
The Magazine does take on a life of its own at Christmas, with more reviews and competitions and all round entertainment. I am not sure if it is because of the holiday feeling that happens, or if the magazine really does take on a magical quality that it seems to lose during the rest of the year.
It will be a sad day if this traditional magazine eventually vanishes from the newsagents shelves, but if it is still around at christmas, then it will not be lost entirely.
