This is the Philadelphia listing.

Yes it is, Neil. I grew up in Philly, so those pages look very familiar.

I found the image on eBay and thought it might be of interest here.

I grew up in the Philly area, so recognized channel 3 right away.

I have saved the Fall Preview issues of TV Guide going way, way back, and I sometimes pull one of the old ones to read through the listings, see the channels, the close-ups, the ads, etc. and basically dream about a happier, simpler time. We didn't subscribe to it; I'd call my dad every Friday afternoon and remind him to pick up a copy from the drug store next to his store before he came home. (The listings always started on Saturday. I'm sure die-hard addicts know this.) I would devour every issue once he brought it home.

The earliest TV Guides started the listings on Friday (I have some) but then switched to the Saturday start date.

I grew up in the fifties in the Philly area and recall visiting some friends of my mother's house and while they gabbed, I became fascinated with the TV Guide on her coffee table.

Realizing that the magazine was only 15¢, I began to look for it in local stores, and found a local mom & pop market that ALWAYS had the next week's TV Guide on Tuesdays. So, I'd save up my allowance money or get some refunds on soda bottle deposits and eagerly bought each week's magazine. Sometime in the early 60s, I switched to an actual subscription, which I kept for years and years, ultimately abandoning the magazine when it went to the nationalized listings and large format. It was then worthless to me.

I at one time had a stack of magazines going back years, but they were tossed in one of those purges that happens in life.
