TV Guide (Canada)

TV Guide was a weekly Canadian magazine that provided television program listings information as well as television-related news, celebrity interviews and gossip, film reviews, crossword puzzles and horoscopes.

Magazine executives cited the need to keep the page count reasonable while listing an increased number of broadcast and cable channels as the primary rationale for the upgrade in the publication's print size.

After receiving numerous complaints about the new format (which severely condensed cross-country listings), changes were introduced with the November 26 issue.

Although it was not the first publication to abandon its print edition in favor of a digital version, TV Guide was one of the first major magazines in Canada to make the conversion.

While TV Guide embraced the use of the internet to distribute content, it still occasionally published printed magazine specials on noteworthy events, under the tvguide.ca imprint.

In December 2012, tvguide.ca was replaced with The Loop, Sympatico's lifestyle and entertainment portal, which incorporated TV Guide's television news and listings.
