It probably hasn't changed since the subject was discussed about 3
weeks ago.

Much like the actual programme content, I should imagine.

I tried a search of Google Groups before I posted here but nothing cropped
up. I'll have another look now. Thanks.

The Radio Times is probably your best bet.

The previous thread discussing this subject was entitled:
"freeview tv listing magazine"

I had to buy another listings mazagine this week as my local newsagent
had sold out of Radio Times, and I don't half miss the way that RT lumps
all the freeview channels together.

It depends what you want.

"Radio Times" lists most of the DTT-only Freeview channels together on
the one page, which is nice. It also lists the programming for BBC7
and 6Music which none of the other mags do. But I can't help but feel
that its aimed at an audience about 20 years older than me (and I'm in
my 30s!).

"TV & Satellite week" lists BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, C4, Five, BBC3 and ITV2
on a single double page per day (RT gives the same info spread across
four pages), but you also get Sky one, Sky One mix and E4 listings on
the same page when you don't need them. Other Freeview channels (e.g.
BBC 4 and FTN) are hidden away on other pages. It gives no radio
listings. And the mag feels like its aimed at my age group, not my
Mum's...
