This article does need a rather thorough combing for veracity and tone. It reads a bit too much like a nerd rant than factual information. Like you said, RDR, but someone with more accurate knowledge of the history of TV Guide needs to fix it. (And yes, the listings weren't dropped from the physical magazine until a little after 2000, if I remember correctly.)
"In the 1980s, TV Guide was sold to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, which proceeded to discontinue the TV station listings and turn the magazine into more of a general publicity rag, similar to People or a half-dozen other magazines already out."
Um...what? The listings were there up until 2005, at least in the one in my area. Repair Dont Respond I know, but I can't think of the right words to replace with.
