TV Guide
TV Guide is a weekly magazine about TV programming. The bulk of the publication consists of localized TV listings. It also features television-related news, celebrity interviews, gossip and reviews. TV Guide was first published on April 3, 1953. Its premiere issue cover featured a photograph of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's newborn son, Desi Arnaz, Jr..
In the 1990s, TV Guide acquired the Prevue Channel and renamed it the TV Guide Channel. It scrolls TV listings in the bottom portion of the screen, while the top portion features celebrity gossip, movie talk, and commercials.
TV Guide is owned by Gemstar, which is in turn, owned partially by News Corporation.
