TVTimes is a television listings magazine published in the United Kingdom by IPC Media, a subsidiary of Time Warner. It is known for its access to television actors and their programmes. In 2006 it was refreshed for a more modern look, increasing its emphasis on big star interviews and soaps. TVTimes is positioned in the premium sector as a quality TV weekly magazine for all generations.

TVTimes belongs to IPC Media's family of television magazines, which form the sub-group TX. This includes What's on TV , TV Easy and TV & Satellite Week , as well as the soap bi-weekly Soaplife .

Editions

TVTimes currently publishes listings for all major television channels. 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 four:

  • 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

History

The magazine 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 TVTimes listing ATV and ABC programmes, but a separate listings magazine in the Midlands called TV World existed from 1964-68 before TVTimes went national. Until television listings were deregulated in 1991 the TVTimes was the only place where complete weekly listings of ITV programmes could be published.

Channel Television continued to publish its own listings magazine until 1991 (it was feared that the company might go under without the revenue from its own magazine).
