Advantages: None anymore

Disadvantages: bad quality, bad content

When in lodgings 3 years ago, my landlady used to provide a copy of the Radio times each week, and I used to look forward to flicking through the pages, and reading my favourite features and columns, there was always something to interest me and it helped while away an hour or two on a Saturday afternoon.

I subsequently moved out of lodgings and for some reason bought a cheaper magazine ( whats on tv, tv quick etc). Then 3-4 months ago I had a hankering for the good old radio times and bought myself a copy......

..... What a dissapointment, I really wish I hadden't bothered, the first thing I noticed was the quality of the paper, it had changed from glossy to rough, thin and looked and felt very cheap.

Some of the same old columns were there, but the layout had changed and were not very reader friendly. The magazine was a bit thin on the ground for features and took me about 15 mins to read!!!

Also a major gripe I have always had with the Radio Times is that there are two pages for each day (morning/afternoon and evening) which is a bit of a faff.
