What's On TV is a weekly television listing magazine published by IPC Media, a Time Warner subsidiary. It is claimed to be the United Kingdom's best-selling magazine with over 4 million readers.[citation needed]

It was launched in 1991 after the monopoly on listings magazine ended. Before this, only the Radio Times had BBC listings and TV Times had ITV and (from 1982) Channel 4 listings. What's On TV started along with TV Quick and the short lived TV Plus in March 1991.

When it was launched, the cover picture usually had TV stars and programmes but more recently, it almost exclusively has a soap represented on the cover (mainly EastEnders).

In addition to television listings, it contains news and gossip from soap operas, as well as puzzles and competitions.
