Newspaper TV Guides

[briancraig]

I have a small collection of newspaper tv guides and had a question about New York newspapers.

I always see collectors selling 1960s and 1970s newspaper tv supplements for the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and especially all 4 old Chicago newspapers (Tribune, Sun Times, Daily News, Today).

I know the New York Times didn't have a weekly tv magazine until 1988, which they just ended recently.

But did the Daily News, Post or Newsday publish a weekly TV magazine in the 60s and 70s?

TV pullouts in the Sunday papers

The Daily News didn't publish a separate TV magazine until the 80's. Before then the weekly listings were a pullout in the middle of the Sunday entertainment section.

The Post has never had a separate TV magazine. Its weekly listings have always been a pullout within the paper.

Newsday -- which BTW is published on Long Island -- has had a TV magazine since the paper went to 7-day publication in 1972.

On a related note, how many weekly TV sections DON'T go Sun-Sun (NYC or elsewhere)?

The Post has never had a separate TV magazine. Its weekly listings have always been a pullout within the paper.

I think sometime in the early-1990s, the Post did try a TV magazine supplement in its Sunday edition, when the paper first expanded to Sundays -- I don't think they lasted long.

Thanks Chuckydoll for answering my question and that explains why I never see tv newspaper guides from New York for sell.
