TV Choice is a weekly UK program guide . The magazine is particularly well known outside of Great Britain for the TV Choice Awards ceremony, at which a number of audience awards are given for outstanding performance in the previous television year.
magazine
TV Choice has been published once a week since 1999. The magazine is published by H. Bauer Publishing, the British subsidiary of the German family company Bauer Media Group . It contains an overview of the television program for the week from Saturday to Friday and is sold from the previous Tuesday. In addition to the mere listing of the program, the magazine offers special articles on the most watched / most popular television shows, the most popular soap operas and individual films. It also includes (crossword) puzzle pages, letters to the editor and prize draws / competitions. The price of the magazine - similar to that of the competing magazines TV Pick , TV Guide and TV Times - has fluctuated between 20p and 55p since 2012, and the current price of 55 pence (63 cents) is the highest since TV Choice was launched . Over Christmas and New Years Eve / New Years Eve, one or two double-length editions will be offered for an increased price of £ 1 - again in line with rivals TV Guide and TV Times - covering two weeks of television programming. The Christmas edition usually includes the weeks from mid-December to the end of December, while the New Year's edition extends to mid-January. In years with only one special edition, this extends over the holidays from late December to early January.
TV Choice became the UK's top selling magazine in February 2008 and has held that position without interruption ever since. It sells over 1.2 million copies each week and has an adult readership of 1.8 million. The target group are young adults of the educated working class and lower middle class ( C1 & C2 ).
TV Choice Award
TV Choice is best known for its annual awards show, the TV Choice Awards (formerly the TV Quick Award ). TV programs in twelve categories and actors in five categories are awarded. It is an audience award, so the winners will be selected based on a public vote by TV Choice readers .
The winners of previous years can be found in the following table:
Note 1: fields filled in dark mean that no award in this category was awarded in the corresponding year.
Note 2: Outstanding TV contribution is a kind of life's work award that extends beyond the current TV year and can be given to individuals as well as entire shows.
Note 3: The comedy duo Ant & Dec has already received this special award twice (2009, 2014). Since 1990 Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have been represented together and without interruption in countless shows on the British evening program, mostly as moderators. With the TV Choice Award, they were not only twice as Ant & Dec , but a further six times for their own show Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway , seven times for the talent show Britain's Got Talent and seven times for the reality show I. 'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! excellent.
