TV Zone is a British magazine published every four weeks by Visual Imagination that covers cult television. Initially, it mostly covered science fiction, but has since branched out to cover other drama and comedy series.
[edit] History
TV Zone was launched in September 1989 by publishers Visual Imagination as a spin-off of their existing title Starburst. Its original editor was Jan Vincent-Rudzki and original tagline was "The Magazine of Cult Television" (now "The World's Longest-Running Cult Television Magazine").
Originally, the magazine concentrated solely on science fiction and fantasy television, but over time it has broadened its interests to occasionally include comedy (mostly through articles by Andrew Pixley) and mainstream drama programmes such as The West Wing and Spooks. It also covers science fiction radio (mostly in its review section).
[edit] Content
TV Zone contains news, interviews, features and reviews of television (and audio) series and their related merchandise (such as novelisations).
It also contains selected UK TV listings; this section was used as the basis of its sister publication Cult Times.
