After more than half a century in digest-form, TV Guide has
announced an entirely new format and layout to debut with the October 17 issue.
TV Guide is going full-size.

Changes include a transformed flagship and 100 full-color pages with
approximately 40 pages of program listings, highlights and recommendations. As a
full-sized national magazine, TV Guide will relaunch with an initial newsstand
price of $1.99 and a different content mix: approximately 75% features and 25%
listings/highlights (as opposed to its current format, which is the other way
around).

Current subscribers will continue to receive the digest-sized magazine
through the October 9 issue and will receive the new full-sized version starting
with the October 17 issue.
