The following is a list of each of the regional editions of TV Guide Magazine, which mentions the markets that each regional edition served and the years of publication. Each edition is listed under exactly one region (generally either for a single city, or a single or multiple neighboring states or provinces). Thus, for editions overlapping region lines, the listing appears in only one of the neighboring regions. For example, the Nebraska edition also included stations in Sioux City, Iowa and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
During the period that TV Guide published local program listings from 1953 to 2005, the magazine did not print regional editions for the U.S. territories, although Puerto Rico has a similar magazine called Teve Guía. Also, three U.S. states, Delaware, South Dakota, and Wyoming, never had their own editions. The northern part of Delaware (part of the Philadelphia market) was served by the Philadelphia edition, and the southern part (part of the Salisbury market) by the Washington-Baltimore edition. Stations in eastern South Dakota (Sioux Falls market) appeared in the Nebraska edition, and subscribers in western South Dakota (Rapid City) automatically received the New York Metropolitan edition.[citation needed] The Northern Colorado edition almost exclusively concentrated on cable systems in Greeley and Fort Collins, while the subscribers in the western Wyoming markets of Riverton, Rock Springs, and Jackson, automatically received the Salt Lake editions.
The markets that served as the primary area, mostly those with white numbers on black channel bullets, are listed in bold text. In some editions, multiple stations appeared on the same channel, which required the editors to be creative in assigning channel bullets to stations. For example, the Montana edition at one time listed channel 2 stations in Billings (black bullet with white number), Spokane (white bullet with black number), Salt Lake (horizontally striped white bullet with black number), and Denver (white bullet with center black stripe containing white number).
Many of the dates are imprecise because exact dates of when editions went into and out of circulation are not easily available. The Oregon edition that started publishing on August 20, 1955, was the 33rd regional edition of TV Guide. According to the September 13, 1958, Utah-Idaho edition, there were 51 regional editions of TV Guide being printed in the United States.
Unless otherwise noted, regional editions in the United States can be assumed to have ended with the October 9, 2005, issue, after which TV Guide began publishing national listings based on time zone.

Canada
editBeginning on December 4, 1965, TV Guide split some of its editions listing both American and Canadian stations. An article called The Canadian Report was then launched in those editions sold primarily or solely in Canada. The Canadian edition of TV Guide split off into its own publication in January 1977. On November 5, 2005, all remaining editions of TV Guide were consolidated to two editions, one for Eastern Canada and one for Western Canada. The print edition of TV Guide ended after the November 25, 2006, issue, though the publication continues as a web magazine (which was incorporated into another website, The Loop by Sympatico, in December 2012), with occasional print specials sold at newsstands.
There were no TV Guide editions for Newfoundland and Labrador, or for the northern territories. Some communities, such as Dawson Creek, British Columbia, and Thunder Bay, Ontario, also had no TV Guide coverage. Television listings in these regions were usually provided by local newspapers and/or local magazines. One such example is the Newfoundland Herald, which features television listings for the province, along with entertainment news and light features.
TV Guide editions sold in Quebec are generally limited to Anglophone communities, and featured only local listings for Montreal, Sherbrooke, and/or Ottawa. TV Guide's francophone counterpart is TV Hebdo, which features television listings for most stations in Quebec and the Ottawa Valley. Published by Québecor Média, it remains in publication to this day. The November 6, 1954 (Chicago edition) of TV Guide has a list of Editions that TV Guide serves, and gift subscriptions are available for 29 U.S states (plus the District of Columbia), and Canada is mentioned at the end of the list as: Canada (Toronto, Hamilton, Windsor, Vancouver).
