Magazine ABCs: TV Choice remains top telly mag

By Dominic Ponsford

Bauer’s TV Choice remained the top-selling TV listings magazine as the sector as a whole slumped 4.5 per cent to 5,417,896.

All the TV mags lost sales year on year with the exception of Hachette’s All About Soap – up 13.4 per cent to 113,436 – and IPC’s Soaplife – up 9.6 per cent to 112,275.

It is a seventh consecutive six-month circulation increase for All About Soap.

Radio Times hovered over the one million-mark thanks to a small period-on-period sales increase.
