Tune in to larger- format TV Week

 

The TV Week book takes on a new shape and size starting today.

The Sunday TV listings magazine has gone from a smaller quarterfold format to a 16-page tabloid.

“One of the first things regular TV week users will note is that our grids are bigger and easier to read – and they contain more information than the smaller page-size allowed,” says Shaun O’L. Higgins, the newspaper’s director of sales and marketing.

As a result, he says, the separate movie description logs are unnecessary and have been eliminated.

Daytime program listings Monday through Friday have been condensed into two pages, because programming is similar day-to-day. Evening grid listings have been expanded by one hour, until 12:30 a.m.

TV Week will continue to feature the TV crossword, Wordquizard and Sudoku puzzles, as well as a cover story and weekly “hot picks.”

Comments can be addressed to Higgins via e-mail at shaunh@spokesman.com, or by mail at TV Week, P.O. Box 2160, Spokane, WA 99203.

TV Week is produced by the marketing department of The Spokesman-Review, in association with Print Marketing Concepts Inc.

    I do not like the new format. It is to big and the printing is still small. Go back to the other format, if you want to change just take out the day time schedule and do it like you did the new one.

    I don’t like the new TV Week, it used to be stapled together and small enough that it fit nicely on our end table, now it falls apart and takes up the whole entire table. You can do better than this can’t you? Go back to the old one, or make something better that is at least hooked together. Wow, what a disaster.

    We didn’t receive it. What does it look like?

    I don’t like the new format. Daily schedule too crowded. Where am I supposed to keep the big paged ” TV week ” for a week? Will not fit on table or stand.
    What was wrong with the smaller quarterfold format? Don’t change a working format just to try something different.
    I have been impressed overall with the papers new format, but the change to the “TV week” is ridiculous. Will somebody admit they made a mistake and bring back the old format?

    Sincerely, Marcine
