Industry Comments On Listings Mags.War

Sarah Middleton, John Ayling & Assoc. ” Obviously the TV Times and Radio Times are now very similar titles; they both had distinct styles but now, of necessity, Radio Times has become more downmarket with mass appeal editorial. It’s cover is a little “tacky”- are they taking the mass market image too far?. We found What’s On TV to be the most practical and easy to read with film and video listings very concise. It is probably the best value, with the lowest cover price. The lay-out of”at a glance” section in Radio Times was thought to be “messy” and belied its name.” Frank Gould, MBS Media “In general I predict the public will stick largely to the TV Times and Radio Times; they are getting two for the price of one now after all”.
