Members j swift Posted November 24, 2023 Members Share Posted November 24, 2023 @vetsoapfan TV Guide only publishes every two weeks. So, it is either for technophobes who want to plan what they'll watch on Tuesday night a week in advance. Or, those who are really wondering about Harry Hamlin's recipes.

Members janea4old Posted November 24, 2023 Members Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) This issue is a three-week issue. Cover date "Nov. 27 – Dec. 17, 2023 Triple Issue" I get TV Guide Magazine digitally for free from my public library's website using my library card for their periodical section, via libbyapp.com From there, I use the search function on each issue to look for "daytime" to find soaps spoilers. Every couple of months they've been publishing a spoiler for one of the soaps, usually just big things like a wedding, or gala. The new issue has a two-page spread which encompasses all four soaps, which I hadn't seen before.

Members JAS0N47 Posted November 24, 2023 Members Share Posted November 24, 2023 Thanks for thinking of me Jane! TV Guide was actually the first magazine I started collecting, before I had ever watched Days, in the 1980's. That is my longest-running collection, although a little incomplete, with just 140 issues missing from 1953-Present, so a 70-year collection! So, that, plus my complete sets of Soap Opera Digest and Soap Opera Weekly, are the three magazines in my collection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted November 25, 2023 Members Share Posted November 25, 2023 I appreciate all the information about how the TV Guide print magazine has evolved over the years. I would probably still buy it, since it is still being published, except that it has not been sold in Canada for decades. I used to look forward to the Fall Preview issue every year, in which the magazine would preview the score of new television shows coming that season. If it is now including coverage of the soaps, I'd say that it a good idea, considering there are no other paper versions of any actual soap magazines these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted April 23 Members Share Posted April 23 (edited) Filed under there are always multiple reasons for failure. Today we learned that if AMI hadn't paid over $500,000 to bury stories for Donald Trump resulting in a federal fine of $187,000.00, perhaps they could've afforded to keep the print edition of SOD. Not that I'm grieving the loss, but it is a remarkable context, beyond the fact that there are fewer soaps which has been true for more than a decade. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/nyregion/national-enquirer-trump-trial-david-pecker.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes As The Enquirer’s parent company at the time, American Media, admitted in a “non-prosecution” deal with the federal government in 2018: “AMI knew that corporations such as AMI are subject to federal campaign finance laws, and that expenditures by corporations, made for purposes of influencing an election and in coordination with or at the request of a candidate or campaign, are unlawful.” The deal helped secure Tuesday’s testimony. (The Federal Election Commission later hit The Enquirer’s parent company with fines of $187,000; Mr. Trump’s campaign escaped sanction.)

Members kalbir Posted April 24 Members Share Posted April 24 I wonder if SOD would ever digitize its archive. There are interviews and features from the 1970s/1980s/1990s I'd love to read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted April 24 Members Share Posted April 24 (edited) They might have been able to do, if the publisher hadn't spent $30,000.00 paying off the doorman at Trump Tower to suppress the story that the former president had fathered a child with his housekeeper out of wedlock (which later proved to be false).

Members JAS0N47 Posted Saturday at 08:01 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 08:01 PM I have every issue in a few filing cabinets, so as long as you don't request a ton of things, if you want me to scan a few of your most-wanted items, I could do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted Saturday at 08:05 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 08:05 PM It would really be foolish to fail to digitize their print archive. Ebony and Jet Magazines have digitized their print editions and have made them available online. It’s particularly helpful to scholars who will be able to access the information from anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted Saturday at 08:50 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 08:50 PM (edited) Jason47 is very kind to offer the services of his scanner, because AMI's scanners were busy creating false images of Ted Cruz's father and Lee Harvey Oswald in order to help Trump win the election in 2016 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/national-enquirer-ted-cruz-father-rafael-lee-harvey-oswald-rcna149027 “We mashed the photos and the different picture with Lee Harvey Oswald. And mashed the two together. And that’s how that story was prepared — created I would say," Pecker said on the witness stand. Which is why I think the foolishness that @DramatistDreamer references is actually part of their business plan, and I would not count on them to preserve anything. Nor would I spend a dime to access their archives. Edited Saturday at 08:55 PM by j swift 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted Saturday at 09:07 PM Author Members Share Posted Saturday at 09:07 PM Yep and they could even put them on MAGZTER, I mean that already has a subscription model to view older issues of SOD(going back to like 2014 I think) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted Saturday at 09:21 PM Members Share Posted Saturday at 09:21 PM libbyapp.com has the past several years of SOD for free - if your public library has "libbyapp" as a way to view periodicals online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
