The magazine offers detailed programme listings for RTÉ channels, as well as TV3, TG4, 3e, BBC One, BBC Two, UTV, and Channel 4, as well as less detailed listings for a number of satellite channels. RTÉ Radio programme listings are also published. Lifestyle and celebrity articles are also included in the magazine.

Until 1991 only RTÉ programme listings were carried, but following UK listings magazines deregulation, the magazine began carrying BBC, UTV and Channel 4 listings also.[3]
A special Christmas double issue RTÉ Guide is published every year to cover the Christmas period and the New Year.
