TV Guide is an American biweekly magazine that provides television program listings information as well as television-related news, celebrity interviews and gossip, film reviews, crossword puzzles, and, in some issues, horoscopes. The print magazine's operating company, TV Guide Magazine LLC, is owned by NTVB Media since 2015.[3] The magazine was spun off from TV Guide in 2008 by then-owner Macrovision to OpenGate Capital for $1 and a $9.5 million loan.[3]

TV Guide Magazine has a license to use the TV Guide name and distinctive red and white logo in print publications only; it is prohibited from using the branding or logo online.[3] While the TV Guide trademark and other intellectual property is owned by Fandom, Inc.; the TV Guide name and editorial content from the magazine are licensed by Fandom for use on the magazine's promotional website and mobile app.[4][5]
