Radio Times Reviews

The Radio Times is one of those British traditions that is steepd in a lot of people's family history. Originally published first in 1920, there was no TV at the time, not until 1936, and it catered for radio listeners, hence the name. It was such a popular publication that on the arrival of TV, the name stuck, and has done to this ...

The Radio Times is really the only magazine I read every week. When you consider that I only watch the television for a couple of hours maximum a week, it seems a bit odd. It does say a lot for the way the magazine is put together though. It is called the Radio Times because when it was originally published there was no TV. It now ...

With so many television listings guides out there it can be difficult sometimes to justify why you should spend £1.05 on the Radio Times each week when you can get similar listings magazines for less than 40p, and indeed the information is available for free online. The joy of the Radio Times is the quality of its listings. It covers a ...

When the Radio Times was first published it only carried listings of BBC radio programmes and when TV was launched it remained the only publication allowed to list what was on on the BBC due to the limited use of listings by copyright. The BBC did not allow other publications to use them probably fearing competition and perhaps feared that one day ...

The Radio Times (RT) has been around a long time and has seen many changes. It was first published in 1920 and is so called because the nation only had radio at that time. It wasn't until 1936 that we saw our first TV broadcast, which saw the first change to the Radio Times in that TV listings were included. As there was no ITV or BBC2 until much ...

I always thought the Radio Times was a bit of an old people?s magazine, and to be honest, it is. There are the letters from ?Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells?, the nice sensible layouts, and the inexplicable popularity of Alan Titchmarsh. However, despite all this, it?s still the best TV listings magazine you can buy. I?ve tried all the TV ...

Though I didn’t grow up with a copy of RT furnishing the coffee table, it feels like an integral part of my culture and it’s a magazine (which is exactly what it is, rather than simply a ‘listings’ periodical) with which I’m completely at home. Critics may argue that it’s overpriced in comparison with similar ...

Help, I'm an endangered species! Well, as someone who prefers radio to most TV, I often feel that way. And it's why I treasure Radio Times. As the name suggests, it's the only place where you can find proper detail about what?s on the wireless. That's its main strength, but not its only one. I thought it would be worth ...

I keep on coming back to this TV guide,it must be the oldest and started out as just a guide to Radio ,when only the rich had a TV set,I didnt have a TV set till I was 12 years old. Radio Times features all the radio channels,and most of the SKY channels for TV. Also the main BBC channels ,BBc 1&2. It has an easy to read ...

I have to hold my hands up and admit I am rather a sad person; each week without fail I eagerly look forward to the new edition of the ‘Radio Times’. There is just something about it that reminds me of times gone by, a time when life was much simpler and television did not rule peoples lives the way it does now. Before I tell you what ...

The radio times throughout its carrer has offered an excellent insight into Television. It has a wide range of information, it has a weekly guide for T.V - terrestrial and a minimal selection of satillite channels, a weekly guide to all the major radio stations and a review of every single terrestrial movie and a dozen of satellite reviews. It ...

The radio times is a magazine style guide to what is on TV. It has several listings with lots of info and gossip about the stars. It also lists several radio stations and their shows which makes it better than any other TV mag. Personally, I think it is sad that people even buy these magazines, haven't they got anything better to ...

The Radio Times, at around 80 pence is the most expensive TV listings publication in the newsagents. Although if you like to read lots of TV and radio related stuff, rather than having a bog standard listings mag, then I suppose it is worth it. I tend to flit between the TV mags and often pick up a Radio Times if I feel like a good read, because ...

The Radio Times to me is by far the best Tv magazine on the market. I would recommend it to any viewer with a Brain LOL. The views are great, not a "Murdock" twisted opinion, who can only recommend "Sky" Tv. The articles like " My kind of day" are pure escapism and can change your opinion of the person for life. ...

I have heard it said many a time, and I would just like to say why is it called ‘Radio Times’ always something that’s puzzled me…. But, the magazine is quality and for I think 80p it’s terrific value. You can tell the magazine is quality, there’s a good feel to it, and it’s quite thick so you ...

The 'Radio Times' is nothing short of a British institution being the first magazine available on these shores solely dedicated to telling us what was on the wireless. Needless to say, things have moved on since issue one came out and the magazine has recently undergone a revamp making this a good time to access its various merits and ...

The Radio Times is a British Institution, and has been around far longer than I have and can even remember! As I have just recently written an opinion on my favourite TV listings magazine - TV Choice (see op), I decided that it was only fair that I did one, on probably the longest serving TV and Radio listings magazine. Many ...

BBC's Radio Times is a magazine with many features. Unlike what most people seem to think, this magazine does not just contain TV and radio listings. Interviews etc are always in the bulging magazine whenever I pop into my local Asda to buy this. I have been buying this magazine for a long, a very long time. To be honest with all my ...
