I'm really looking forward to your "What's on TV?" blog from this edition, but I deplore you, Mr. Hadley, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ANY STATIONS OUT. Otherwise, I'll have to depend on Henry Hanson, Mo Carney and Tony DiFlorio to unfix what you fix. <br />There are two stations on channel 7 (KGO San Francisco, ABC and the aformentioned KRCR in Redding, which had ABC and NBC at this point), and two on channel 9, both PBS stations (KQED SF and KIXE Redding). Eventually, the Eureka stations would be added, giving us two stations on chs. 3, 6 and 13. But that's about two years away. For now, KIEM-TV and KVIQ are confined to the Oregon State edition of TVG-which also carries KRCR's listings. <br />So please Mr. Hadley, do your blogging carefully. Oh, BTW, the Amorys were a BLAST!Ken Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658517406339380796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-20200929659833650072018-06-05T11:28:02.805-04:002018-06-05T11:28:02.805-04:00The auction for Boston's PBS station, WGBH, is...The auction for Boston's PBS station, WGBH, is an institution...Paul Ducanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-12477521697788291862018-06-05T11:02:22.591-04:002018-06-05T11:02:22.591-04:00The 35 to 40 cent jump happened with the first iss...The 35 to 40 cent jump happened with the first issue of the 1980s, 1/5/80. The 40 to 50 cent jump happened with the 1981-82 Fall Preview on 9/12/81. I remember receiving mail from TV Guide sometime spring or summer 1981 encouraging me to extend my subscription at the current price since the price was going up soon. I had the lower rate for an additional year until 9/82.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483417885845331990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-31254916657369307412018-06-05T09:17:43.011-04:002018-06-05T09:17:43.011-04:00I'm not sure when it went from 40 to 50, but I...I'm not sure when it went from 40 to 50, but I remember the 1984-85 Fall Preview as the issue when it went from 50 to 60 cents. The first issue of 1988 was the jump from 60 to 75 cents. The March 16-22, 1991 issue saw a tiny jump to 79 cents. It went to 89 cents nearly a year later with the March 7-13 1992 issue. The February 4-10, 1995 issue saw it jump to 99 cents. Finally, with the issue of August 24-30, 1996, it said goodbye to under a dollar with a whopping 20 cent price increase to $1.19.

For TV Guide's first 21 years as a national magazine, the price held at 15¢. The 20¢ price would not even last a calendar year as it would increase another nickel to 25¢ for the 1974-75 Fall Preview Edition. Come the end of the 1970's the price went up to 35¢ at the end of 1979. Starting in January 1980, the price hit at 40¢, and has been increasing ever since. :OSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08378333389919276031noreply@blogger.com
