If you look at the calendar, in December 2018 week 52 is 22nd-28th December, and Week 1 is 29th December-4th January. That was also the case in 2012, and they certainly didn't run 15th-28th December that year, or any year when Christmas was on a Tuesday.
I'm just going by what Radio Times themselves said in emails. I don't for one minute expect 2018 to be 15th - 28th December. But at this moment in time, as it stands now, the Radio times will be publishing a 16 - 29 December issue next year. As I say, we;ll know for sure in due course once the publication dates are confirmed.
Well, we'll know a year from now who was right and who was wrong. But Week 51 and Week 52 will be the week's that the TV mags will publish, and as it stands, that means a 16th - 29th edition of the RT. I hope you're right because I don't see the point of a Christmas issue that ends on 29th December. Week 1 will have its own issue of the RT as it's the week the new season starts and the BBC will want the New Year shows heralded in separately to Christmas.
