Daily TV listings expanded

Due to popular demand, The Register Citizen has greatly expanded its daily TV channel listings.
Effective this past Sunday, we switched from a small grid of prime time-only listings, to a far more extensive grid that is spread over two pages and covers a daily time period from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m.
The listings were too big to fit in their old spot on the comics page, so in that space, we have now anchored our popular daily Sudoku puzzle and our "Today in History" column.
And where "Today in History" used to appear on the editorial page, we will be offering more commentary as well as new features such as today's "Ask the AP" column, which answers readers' questions on a variety of national news topics.
Back to the TV listings ... for you night owls, and those of you who have cable or satellite systems offering 4 million channels, on our Web site, http://www.registercitizen.com/, we also offer interactive TV listings that cover 24 hours a day and an extensive listing of niche channels. You type in your zip code, and it will even automatically customize your listings to your local cable system. Click here to go directly to those listings and try it out.

What happened to the TV book

You can call it another victim of changing times.
The TV listings book that typically appears in Sunday's Register Citizen was missing yesterday, eliminated based on years of waning interest and changes in the habits of newspaper readers and TV viewers.
So many households now rely on Cable TV channel guides, which have become more and more sophisticated, and on interactive online TV listings, that even TV Guide changed its format a few years back to de-emphasize actual channel listings.
To fill the gap, we have expanded our daily in-paper TV grid to Sunday, and are working on plans to expand those daily listings.
