The history of the RT...........
Radio Times is a British weekly listings magazine devoted to television and radio programme schedules, with other features such as interviews, film reviews and lifestyle items. Founded in September 1923 by John Reith, then general manager of the British Broadcasting Company, it was the world's first broadcast listings magazine.[2] In September 2023 it became the first broadcast listings magazine to reach and then pass its centenary.[3]
The beginning
HERE' (or https://ukchristmastv.weebly.com/christmas-radio-times-covers-1936-1968.html) is a website with many, many more covers pre 1969. Except for the war years they had full colour cover, even though there were only radio programmes listed and a long time before colour TV.
Then Here are covers from 1969 0nwards (or https://ukchristmastv.weebly.com/christmas-radio-times-covers-from-1969.html)
A Christmas tradition in many households even if never bought during the rest of the year.
