TV Times
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TV Times is a television listings magazine published in the United Kingdom. It was launched in 1955, but became a national magazine only in 1968. Prior to 1968 several of the regional ITV companies - Westward Television, Scottish Television, Tyne Tees Television, Ulster Television, TWW and Teledu Cymru (and briefly WWN) - produced their own listings magazines. The Midlands originally had their own edition of TV Times listing ATV and ABC programmes, but a separate listings magazine in the Midlands called TV World existed from 1964-68 before TV Times went national.
Channel Television continued to publish its own listings magazine for several years after 1968 (it was feared that the company might go under without the revenue from its own magazine).
TV Times currently publishes listings for all major television channels but before 1991 it published listings for ITV and (from 1982) Channel 4 only. Although every ITV region originally had its own version, there are now only 4:
- England - All ITV and BBC regions in England
- Scotland - STV, ITV Border and BBC Scotland
- Wales - ITV Wales, S4C, BBC Wales
- Northern Ireland - UTV, BBC Northern Ireland, RTÉ and TV3
- TV Times Official Homepage
- TV Times Project - Database of TV Times listings 1955 - 1985
- Vintage Times: Unofficial TV Times covers site
- Almost every TV Times cover from 1955-1980 plus TV World, Television Weekly etc etc
