Radio Times: Your Guide to TV and Radio Fun!

Radio Times is like a treasure map for watching and listening! It's a weekly magazine, which means a new one comes out every week. Inside, you'll find all the schedules for TV and radio programmes.

But it's not just about what's on! It also has fun interviews with actors, reviews of movies, and cool lifestyle stories. It helps families decide what to watch together, making sure no one misses their favorite cartoons or exciting documentaries.

This amazing magazine started a super long time ago, way back in September 1923! That's even before your grandparents were born! A man named John Reith, who was in charge of the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), thought it would be a great idea to have a magazine just for TV and radio schedules.

It was the very first magazine of its kind in the whole world! It's so old, it recently celebrated its 100th birthday!

Radio Times is super important because it was the very first magazine to list TV and radio shows. Think of it like being the first person to invent a new game that everyone loves to play! It helped people know what was happening on the airwaves.

It's been around for so long that it's seen TV and radio change from black and white to color, and from just a few channels to hundreds! It's a piece of history that's still going strong.

Every year, around Christmas time, Radio Times does something extra special. They publish a bigger magazine that covers not just one week, but two whole weeks of programmes! This is perfect for the holidays when there are lots of special shows and movies on.

It means you can plan all your festive viewing and listening fun for the entire Christmas and New Year period. It’s like getting double the fun in one magazine!
