TV Quick

TV Quick is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand TV Quick rather than just read about it. In short: TV Quick was a British weekly television listing magazine published by H Bauer Publishing, the UK subsidiary of the family-run German company Bauer Media Group. It featured weekly television listings running from Saturday to Friday, and began publication on 30 March 1991 following deregulation of the UK listing magazine market.

Key takeaways

TV Quick belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect TV Quick to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of TV Quick from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

TV Quick was a British weekly television listing magazine published by H Bauer Publishing, the UK subsidiary of the family-run German company Bauer Media Group. It featured weekly television listings running from Saturday to Friday, and began publication on 30 March 1991 following deregulation of the UK listing magazine market. The magazine had its own annual awards ceremony, the TV Quick Awards, awarded on the basis of a public vote by readers of TV Quick and its sister publication TV Choice. The awards were renamed the TV Choice Awards following the title's closure. The title's demise followed a 27% year-on-year fall in circulation between 2008 and 2009 according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. On 12 May 2010, Bauer announced that it had commenced a 30-day consultation period with its staff about the magazine's future, and the magazine ceased publication shortly after. It was suggested that the fall in sales was due to the magazine being caught in a no-man's-land between premium titles such as Radio Times and TV Times and budget titles like TV Choice and What's on TV.

Awards The first TV Quick awards took place in 1997 with eighteen categories voted for.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with TV Quick

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

In research: TV Quick 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 Quick 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 Quick is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1991 establishments in the United Kingdom, 2010 disestablishments in the United Kingdom, Bauer Group (UK), so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for TV Quick 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.
