Reference excerpt

TV8 was a Swiss French-language weekly television magazine that was published by Ringier out of Lausanne. It was founded in 1923 under the name Le Radio, which merged with Je vois tout in 1953 to form Radio TV – Je vois tout. The name was changed to Radio TV8 in 1986, finally changed to simply TV8 six years later. In April 2023, it was merged into L'Illustré, another magazine published by Ringier.

History The magazine was founded as Le Radio in 1923. In 1953, Le Radio merged with another periodical by the same owners, Je vois tout, forming Radio TV – Je vois tout. It was published out of Lausanne. The magazine had a monthly illustrated supplemented called Arc-en Ciel in the 1970s. It focused on largely TV and audiovisual media but also sometimes focused on informational and general/current events topics. The magazine was then the official outlet of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation when it came to publication of its programs in French; despite this it had no publishing relationship with that organization and was independent from it. In 1970, its circulation was 102,000, and it had a circulation of 110,000 in 1973. In 1970 it was the biggest weekly by circulation in Francophone Switzerland. In August 1986 it became Radio TV8. It again changed its name to simply TV8 in August 1992, which came alongside a layout change. It was sometimes called RTV 8. In April 2023, it was merged into L'Illustré, another magazine published by Ringier. This was due to content overlap between the two magazines; L'Illustré was expanded as a result of the merged and TV8's typical content was folded into it. Laurence Desbordes, TV8's editor-in-chief, was made the new editor-in-chief of L'Illustré. The first issue of the merged magazine was published that month.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with TV8 (magazine)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what TV8 (magazine) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to TV8 (magazine) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about TV8 (magazine) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of TV8 (magazine)

In research: TV8 (magazine) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses TV8 (magazine) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: TV8 (magazine) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1923 establishments in Switzerland, 2023 disestablishments in Switzerland, Defunct magazines published in Switzerland, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for TV8 (magazine) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
