Frequently Asked Questions

We're moving to triple issues!

Why did you change to triple issues?
2024 was a record-setting year for both postage increases and late deliveries by the Post Office. To mitigate the effects of these challenges on our subscribers, we went back to the drawing board and created a bigger and better version of TV Weekly. By updating the magazine to cover three weeks of programming, we can offset rising postal costs and declining postal delivery standards and provide a more comprehensive overview for avid TV planners.
Where did the conversion chart go/why does my magazine look different than it did before?
Some local TV Weekly editions have been consolidated as a part of these production changes. Please save your conversion chart from your previous issue. You can also find a fully comprehensive channel line-up for your area at tvweekly.com/mychannels.
Why am I getting overlapping issues?
While we adjust to the three-week publishing cycle, we may deliver overlapping issues, or issues on consecutive weeks, so that you don’t miss any programming during the transition.
Do I get a discount since you’re sending fewer issues?
TV Weekly still provides a full year of in-depth TV coverage with your annual subscription. We’ve expanded movie and streaming coverage and added a new late-night section as well. We believe these changes provide more value than ever to our subscribers.
What about mail delivery? Can you send replacements since the magazine covers more time?
Over the holiday season we experienced unprecedented numbers of late and missed deliveries. We made no changes to our mailing process, and have always mailed the magazine according to the Post Office’s delivery standards. TV Weekly is a time-sensitive publication, and we are hopeful that a three-week publishing cycle will give the PO the additional time needed to reduce and eliminate delivery problems.
We cannot send replacements at this time, but we are closely monitoring delivery rates during the transition. In the meantime we will continue to provide digitized versions of TV Weekly to active subscribers at tvweeklyhelp.com. And if you have an email address on file with an active TV Weekly subscription, you’re automatically signed up for our weekly newsletter, TV Weekly Update, bringing the best in TV straight to your inbox, featuring access to personalized 24/7 TV listings.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT RENEWALS MAILED IN OCTOBER 2024

We've become aware that a small percentage of our October 2024 renewal mailing was affected by a production error that occurred at our mailer. You may have seen incorrect or irrelevant information on that notice. Feel free to disregard it completely as we are working on a corrected mailing now. We appreciate your patience and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Why hasn't my subscription started yet?
Please allow 6-8 weeks from the time you send your order to receipt of your first issue. Your start date appears on the emailed receipt sent at the time of your order. If you have not received an issue after at least two months, please use Subscriber Services to locate your subscription and confirm your start date.
When is my expiration date?
The date your subscription expires can be found on your issue mailing label above your name. If you have additional questions, you may log into Subscriber Services at any time.
My magazine has not arrived. What do I do?
First, keep in mind that the magazine has until the 1st day of the issue month to arrive. If it has not arrived by the 1st, please call 1-888-899-9992 to request a replacement copy. We mail replacements between the 1st and 15th of the issue month.
How do I change my delivery or billing address?
You can update your address, as well as handle many other subscription-related questions, by logging in to Subscriber Services.
I already paid but I got a bill/renewal notice in the mail. What gives?
If you have already paid or renewed and continue to receive notices from us, it is likely our correspondence has crossed in the mail. You can confirm your payment was received and check the status of your subscription anytime by logging into Subscriber Services.
How do I sign up for your free VIP service and get a digital issue of the magazine?
You don't have to wait for the mail to get your next issue of Channel Guide Magazine. Exclusive to print subscribers only, we offer a FREE digital issue of the magazine where we email you a link to access it 10 days before the end of the month.

I'm missing pages during the late-night hours?
Your publication lists programming from the hours of 8am to midnight and a late night movie guide in the back of the publication. If you're looking for late-night programming, print subscribers can download our expanded digital edition that features 24-hours of programming by signing up to our VIP program at https://www.channelguidemag.com/all-access
Why are there networks listed that aren't available to me?
Some networks are only available with a digital cable subscription — like H2, Bio Channel, Hallmark Movie Channel and LMN — and other networks require a premium subscription — like HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and Starz. Double-check with your cable or satellite provider if you are unsure if your package includes a network or not.
How do you determine what networks are listed?
There are many factors we consider when determining what networks are listed in the magazine. First, we look at the National Cable Television Association's research on the top cable networks, specifically its ranking of what networks reach the majority of homes. Then we look at the complexities of the programming content offered on a network. For instance, movie networks take precedence over networks like C-SPAN, which has little or no time-specific or title-specific programming. We also prefer to list networks that can provide monthly schedules versus weekly schedules — this is, of course, to ensure we can offer you accurate, up-to-date programming information.
