Advantages: Well Laid Out & Easy To Find A Channel's Listings

Disadvantages: Only 63 Channels Covered

I bought my copy of TV Choice magazine today at a cost of 40p.

To tell you a bit about it:

It is 75 pages long and printed on a fairly thin slightly glossy A4 sized paper. The print doesn't come off on your fingers and the whole thing is securely held together by staples.


It gives me the television listings from April 4th to April 10th, that's Saturday through Friday inclusive. It lists 63 different channels which include all the main 5 terrestrial channels and their derivative channels, e.g. ITV2, BBC3 and E4. It has all the Sky Sports channels, a lot of their movie channels and a variety of other satellite channels.

It isn't totally comprehensive channel wise because that would be nigh on impossible without the magazine being 500 pages long.

What's nice is that it shows the channels in groups: Main terrestrial, Entertainment, Factual/Lifestyle, Children, Sport & Movies.

The descriptions of programmes given for the bigger and more popular channels are good but get quite small for the smaller channels.

There is also a separate dedicated 3 page film guide which goes into more detail.

Other features of the magazine are a full page word search puzzle , gossip and inside stories on the soaps and the actors that appear in them, some previews of new programmes that are debuting this week and an assortment of full page advertisements that mainly advertise products aimed at the over 50s (vacuum cleaners, conservatories, walk in baths , book clubs etc).

It is a nice little magazine that's worth the 40p if you are like me and like to browse the whole schedule a few days in advance.

I would recommend it.

Summary: A Pretty Good Publication
