Reference excerpt

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.

History and profile 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.

Circulation TV Magazine sold four million copies in October 1998. It was the second best-selling television magazine worldwide with a circulation of 4,489,000 copies in 2001. In 2006, the magazine had a circulation of 5,329,711, having suffered a small decline from 5,677,411 copies in 2002. The circulation of the magazine was 5,152,112 copies in 2014.

Le Figaro TV Magazine At the beginning of 2023, TV Magazine was replaced by Diverto for regional dailies. Diverto is distributed over 3 million copies through the alliance of 50 regional press titles. On 6 January 2023, the remodelled TV Magazine was relaunched as a supplement distributed by the newspapers Le Figaro, Le Parisien and Le Républicain de l'Essonne. Renamed Le Figaro TV Magazine, it is controlled by Le Figaro in partnership with Le Parisien. Since then, Le Figaro TV Magazine has been marketed nationally by Media Figaro, the Figaro Group's advertising agency, with a circulation of 530,000 copies per week and is one of the top 5 French television listings magazines. The magazine has been distributed on Fridays and Saturdays, within the weekend offer of Le Figaro, Madame Figaro, and Le Figaro Magazine. It is also distributed under Le Parisien TV Magazine in the Friday edition of the daily Le Parisien. The magazine belongs to the same owner, the Figaro Group. The staff writers of Le Figaro TV Magazine and its website are those of the "screen division" of Le Figaro. François Aubel is editor-in-chief of Le Figaro TV Magazine and Le Parisien TV Magazine.

Other uses TV Magazine is also used in English-speaking countries as a generic name for any television listings magazine.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with TV Magazine

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what TV 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 TV 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 TV 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 TV Magazine

In research: TV 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 TV 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: TV Magazine is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1987 establishments in France, Defunct French-language magazines, Defunct magazines published in Paris, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for TV 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.
