The magazine offers detailed programme listings for RTÉ channels, as well as Virgin Media One, TG4, Virgin Media Two, BBC One, BBC Two, UTV, and Channel 4, as well as less detailed listings for variations of BBC Wales, ITV Wales, S4C and a number of satellite and cable channels. RTÉ Radio programme listings are also published. Lifestyle and celebrity articles are also included in the magazine. History and profile The RTÉ Guide began publication on 1 December 1961 as the RTV Guide and changed its name to the current name on 8 July 1966. From 8 January 1977, the RTÉ Guide switched from tabloid format to a compact magazine size and also changed from monochrome into colour. Initially, listings were carried for Radio Luxembourg, AFN and BBC Northern Ireland but these were later dropped after a few years and only RTÉ programme listings were carried. After United Kingdom listings magazines such as Radio Times and TV Times were deregulated from 1 March 1991, the magazine began carrying BBC, UTV/HTV Wales and Channel 4, (with S4C) listings also from 13 April 1991. A special Christmas double issue of RTÉ Guide is published every year to cover the Christmas and New Year period. In April 2018, the design of the RTÉ Guide was changed for the first time in a number of years. On 19 May 2019, it was reported that RTÉ was considering selling the RTÉ Guide. On 16 June 2019, it was reported that the Sunday Business Post owner, Enda O’Coineen, might acquire the RTÉ Guide. However by 5 December 2019, RTÉ had abandoned the proposed sale.
