 PROFILE
TV Guide is all for changing channels. The company owns "TV Guide," the best-selling (10 million circulation) weekly publication in the US, and a handful of other TV-related magazines. It is gearing up for the digital age with its Web site, TV Guide Online, and TV Guide Interactive, an on-screen listing for digital-TV users. The company (formerly United Video Satellite) also provides satellite delivery services through the operating companies of its United Video Group. In addition, it distributes Chicago's WGN superstation, among other channels. In 2000 TV Guide was acquired by video-recording technology maker Gemstar and became a subsidiary of the new Gemstar-TV Guide International.
