Radio Times

Also great for realising how stupid you were to throw them out considering the prices some of them sell for.

RTE1 was in the ITV column where the variations were, but in a larger font, with slightly truncated ITV listings. RTE2 was in the C4 column in the same way S4C was in the Welsh one.



Indeed. *goes off crying*

I've chucked out those regional editions, but I haven't chucked out any other ones. Not selling them, though.

Was the RTE guide able to carry BBC and UTV listings prior to the deregulation? If so I'm guessing they'd have had to be smuggled over the border.

RTE Guide started to print the UK TV channel listings from 1991. From 1962-66 the old RTV Guide used to print the BBC Television and Radio listings, however when it became the RTE Guide in the summer of 1966 it just printed RTE Television and Radio schedules until 1991.

Irish daily and weekend newspapers printed the UK TV schedules so that viewers in the Irish republic who had multi-channel via spill over from Northern Ireland/Wales and West England or more so on the cable tv network which launched in 1969 knew what was on.

The UK papers that printed Irish Editions in the 60's 70's and 80's also carried RTE 1 and 2. These Irish editions had 1 page of Irish News, 1 page of Irish Sport and the Irish racing cards otherwise there was no difference between the Irish and UK edition. Generally they were placed in the Variations box but some Like the Sunday Express in the 80's gave RTE1 the Channel 4 Column and relegated Channel 4 and RTE2 to the Variations. This all changed in the 80's and 90's with many of the UK papers launching full Irish Editions that gave RTE 1 and RTE 2 equal standing with BBC, ITV and Channel 4.
