TV Magazine

TV Magazine was a weekly French television listings magazine owned by Figaro Group. As a supplement for the regional press, it was France's leading television listings magazine from 1987 to 2022. TV Magazine became Le Figaro TV Magazine in early 2023, marketed nationally and still owned by the Figaro Group.

TV Magazine was started in 1987. The Hersant Group launched TV Magazine as a supplement to French regional dailies.

The magazine was published by Hachette Filipacchi until 2001 when it began to be published Quebecor World Inc.

In 2007, the magazine had 14 million readers.

At the end of November 2008, Socpresse (publishing TV Magazine) and Lagardère Médias (publishing TV Hebdo) signed an agreement to merge the two weekly supplements of the daily press. Socpresse was the majority shareholder of the new entity that was TV Magazine.

It was part of the Figaro Group. In 2018, TV Magazine circulated 4.3 million copies per week.

In March 2019, it was expanded by ten additional pages. Published by the Figaro Group and distributed every Sunday with fifty titles from the regional press and Le Figaro, TV Magazine employed 38 people, including 17 journalists.

At the end of 2022, Le Figaro announced the termination of the contracts with the regional press titles, which ensured the distribution of TV Magazine. As France's leading television listings magazine, its circulation was then 3.7 million copies. The exorbitant manufacturing costs due to rising energy and paper prices determined the renegotiation of contracts between Le Figaro and distributors. This resulted in the loss of fourteen jobs as the producing company of TV Magazine was dissolved. Brice Laemle of Le Monde wrote that the magazine turned an "important page in its history". The final issue of TV Magazine was published in the last week of December 2022.
