Just weeks after The Gazette reduced the size of its TV Times to save paper, the Globe and Mail has done the same thing, though they’re being a bit coy about why, calling it “more consise.” Needless to say that didn’t fool everyone.
But since I can’t find anyone blogging about it, I wonder whether too many people care. How many young people check the newspaper to see what’s on TV?

How many young people read a newspaper?
And why need you to be young to look up TV listings?
Don’t read printed newspapers. And why get TVguide when it’s integrated into cable provider’s box anyway?
I don’t even check the TV to see what’s on TV anymore.
The TV Times from my Saturday Gazette goes right into the recycling bin - I don’t even look at it. You can save more paper by not even including it!
Agree with Bryan. I would prefer putting more resources into straight news and TV/radio criticism by completely dumping the listings. They are about as useless as full stock listings in the internet age.
People still watch TV?
As a former TV magazine editor, I have to confess now that I seldom, if ever watch television — the odd hockey game, the odd news program. I spend much of my free time on the Internet — which if far more educational and interactive.
TV’s days (and nights) are numbered.
Cheers
