This is not your mother’s TV Guide.
Instead of providing detailed program listings, the first issue of Santa Monica-based TV Online magazine highlights recent developments in the rush to provide interactive programming to consumers.
Publisher Phil Swann said the magazine, currently available only by subscription and on a trial basis to Sony Electronics’ WebTV subscribers, will review and recommend TV shows, movies, books and music. It will list Web sites relevant to these reviews at the end of each story.
“It’s like Entertainment Weekly meets Wired. It’s got an entertainment focus, but everything in there has an online connection,” Swann said. The publication has about 275,000 subscribers nationwide.
The monthly magazine, published by Vienna, Va.-based CommTek Communications, is expected to be available on newsstands by the end of the year.
