What is TV Guide?
TV Guide is a popular app and website that has been providing TV listings, entertainment news, celebrity information and more for over 60 years. It started as a print magazine in 1953 and expanded to digital platforms in the 1990s and 2000s.
The core functionality of TV Guide is its TV listings, which enables users to view channel lineups and program schedules to see what television shows and movies are on and at what times. Users can search by time or by show title to see when episodes will air. There is also a reminders feature that allows users to set alerts for when a certain program will be broadcast so they don't forget.
In addition to TV listings, TV Guide offers entertainment news, previews, reviews and recommendations. There are breaking news reports on renewals/cancellations, celebrity updates like births and weddings, and suggestion lists pointing users to hot shows or streaming options. Users can read about their favorite programs and stars.
TV Guide also has additional features like an interactive TV program allowing users to relive or catch up on highlights from past shows. There are sweepstakes, giveaways and opportunities to vote in fan polls as well. The platform is available via smartphone app and desktop site.
