List of TV Guide editions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These are the regional editions of TV Guide and the markets they served and the periods they existed. Each edition is listed under exactly one state. Thus, for editions overlapping state lines, the listing appears in only one of the neighboring states. For example, the Colorado edition also includes stations in Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota.
Many of the dates are imprecise because exact dates of when editions went into and out of circulation are not easily available.
Unless otherwise noted, United States editions can be assumed to have ended with the October 9, 2005 issue, the last date TV Guide published regional editions.
