RTÉ Guide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The RTÉ Guide (Irish language: Iris Radio Telefís Éireann) is a television and radio listings magazine in the Republic of Ireland published by RTÉ Commercial Enterprises Limited, a subsidiary of Radio Telefís Éireann.

The magazine offers detailed programme listings for RTÉ channels, as well as TV3, TG4, BBC, ITV1, and Channel 4, as well as less detailed listings for a number of satellite channels. As well as this detailed RTÉ Radio programme listings are published. Lifestyle and celebrity articles are also published.

The Guide began publication on December 1, 1961 as the RTV Guide (Iris Radio Éireann - Telefís Éireann)[1] and changed its name to its current name in 1966. Early on listings were carried for the BBC but were dropped after a few years. Until 1991 only RTÉ programme listings were carried, but following UK listings magazines deregulation, the magazine began carrying BBC, ITV and Channel 4 listings also.
