True but you could plan out the next scheduled show.

And I thought the TV guide channel was created shortly before the TV guides went out of print as people weren't buying them at the same rate as before.

TV Guide Channel was launched in 1999, however it was a rebranding of the Prevue Channel which was really the same thing. (And also a rebranding of the Electronic Program Guide network which started in 1981)

According to Wikipedia, at least.

Oh wow. This is going back! I can't say for certain that I remember the prevue channel but I want to

Do these maybe ring a bell? It was before my time.

Or here's a recording of the Electronic Program Guide of the 80's

It looks like an old friend. I wish I could look up what channel it was on in my area.
