Remember newspapers (back when they were thick enough to actually use the old paper usefully. Yup. The TV page from the newspaper was saved. The daily edition had today's and tomorrow's schedule and the Sunday edition had the week's schedule. Our newspaper was an afternoon edition so at best the day was half over by the time you got the paper. Didn't matter - who watched TV in the morning other than the Today show for some news?

donkpow Posted April 3, 2023 Share #8 Posted April 3, 2023 Wow! I sold TV Guides. I sold just enough to win this knife, then I embezzled as much as could get and quit that stinking job. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted April 4, 2023 Share #11 Posted April 4, 2023 The closest I come to it now is zap2it online listings. It's faster than my Fios online guide if I want to see what Sports are on - I use it mostly on Sundays during the NFL season to see what games are on broadcast TV in Baltimore and Washington.
