Do not restore unsourced material to this article. Do we have any evidence that digiguide are up there with BDS & PA as a lisitngs provider. I think not. Thanks, ♫ SqueakBox talk contribs 01:40, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
I really think TV listings (UK) should be merged into Broadcast programming. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Encyclopedia articles are cover a subject; they're not about individual terms. That's why we have one article on gasoline/ petrol: Same thing, different terms. This would also give us the opportunity to compare and contrast how programming is approached in the US vs the UK, which might be interesting. — DragonHawk ( talk| hist) 22:37, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. See just enough support in this debate to rename these pages as requested. Closer's note: Added the dab page to this request since that page move is necessary to facilitate this one, and the bot did leave a notice on the dab's talk page on 10 April 2018.

– This term is not UK-specific, and moving this to primary will encourage further expansion. The current primary dab is almost useless and misleading, since broadcast programming is a topic about how broadcasters make choices of what to put on, not about how viewers get information. electronic program guides exist, but is focused on the digital distribution of schedules on set-top boxes, "TV listings" is more about schedules accessed from paper and internet. -- Netoholic @ 17:32, 10 April 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. samee converse 11:38, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
a significant amount of information currently provided for the UK would have to be left out.That can and should be retained and similar information for other countries can be included until such time as the article is too large. At that time the UK section could be split out to its own article but this would remain the umbrella article. I do note that the lead image is not even a UK image, which I find somewhat amusing. -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 05:37, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
It’s odd that you say when TV Guide was launched it was “sold across ten U.S. cities” but don’t name them. Then when 5 more editions were added in the summer of 1953, you do name them: Pittsburgh, Rochester, Detroit, Cleveland and San Francisco. The identity of the second 5 is more significant than the first 10?
Or perhaps you simply don’t know the first 10. They were New York City, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington-Baltimore, Los Angeles, Chicago-Milwaukee (as “Great Lakes”), Cincinnati-Dayton, Quad Cities, and Minneapolis. Well, 12 cities, counting the Quad Cities as one city, although the Great Lakes edition had other cities as well, but 10 editions. 2600:4040:5D38:1600:5D90:3D83:D764:4E00 ( talk) 01:36, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
