Chicago Tribune Presents 'The Guide' - The Best of TV, Comics, and the Web

CHICAGO, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- This Sunday, the Chicago Tribune introduces The Guide, a new way for readers to enjoy two of the newspaper's favorite Sunday sections -- TV Week and Comics -- while adding a weekly Internet guide. The Guide will appear in tabloid size, with a pull-out section of the Tribune's Sunday comics in the middle.

The TV pages feature listing enhancements that include more timely television information as well as color-coded grids to make it easy to find movies, sports, news and the week's Best Bets at a glance. The comic strips and puzzles will be showcased in a redesigned section that includes a colorful version of TV Jumble.

Additionally, The Guide will offer a weekly overview of the Internet's most useful and entertaining Web sites -- everything from reference databases to financial advice to brain teasers to nostalgia.

The TV grids are adding nine extra prime-time cable channels that represent some of the fastest-growing viewerships in the Chicago market: the Do It Yourself network (DIY), Fox Movie Channel (FMC), Galavision (Spanish-language), Independent Film Channel (IFC), Lifetime Movie Network (LMN), Ovation (arts), Style (fashion), VERSUS (sports), and Women's Entertainment (WE).

Readers will find "The Guide" each week in the Sunday Chicago Tribune's advertising preprint package, which is also the home of the Chicago Tribune Magazine and Parade.
