The Houston Chronicle announced this weekend it is joining the hosts of dailies who are giving up the TV section and handing the job over to NTVB Media, a Michigan company.
Way back before the net, TV sections were a key part of a newspaper subscription. True connoisseurs, of course, got their listings, features and third-grade-level crossword puzzles from the TV Guide, but the local paper's section was a solid second choice.
Nowadays, no one but your grandmother gets their TV info from a Sunday section. And if grandma wants to keep getting it, she's going to pay through the nose.
Starting May 2, if you want a TV section with your Sunday Chron, you're going to have to subscribe to TV Weekly. And it ain't cheap.
There's a bargain rate for Chron subscribers -- a mere $39 a year. (It's $91 for non-subscribers.)
We're sure they will be glad to automatically renew your subscription via credit card, so no need to worry about missing any issues!!
Here's what you get, according to their website:
* 44 pages - with more contentThis week's celebrity birthday and a glossy cover? Cheap at twice the price!
* News and Q&A about your favorite celebrities
* Glossy cover
* Cable conversion chart
* Puzzles, quizzes, Sudoku
* Convenient and comprehensive program grids with daily highlights and games in every issue!
