Anyone remember weekly newspaper TV guides? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I do. When I lived in NJ my family subscribed to the Record newspaper and I always looked at their newspaper tv guides. When the guide was revamped in 1992, they included for whatever reason for some time, tv stations from Philly despite the fact that Philly was two to three hours away from me. I wonder why the Record did that. Was the guide made in conjunction with a Philadelphia based newspaper in which the Philly version had a heavy emphasis on the Philadelphia region and less emphasis on the New York area? Any thoughts? Here is the image I printed of from newspapers.com from 1992. My cable system was the first one on the left.

Sure. Usually came in the Sunday paper. But we were a TV Guide family. I had smart parents.
