TV Times was launched on 22 September 1955, with the start of transmissions of the first ITV station, Associated-Rediffusion. Initially, the magazine was published only in the London area, carrying listings for Associated-Rediffusion (Rediffusion, London from 1964) on weekdays and ATV at weekends, but regional editions began to appear covering those ITV regional companies which did not opt to establish their own listings magazines. TV Times became a national magazine (except for the Channel Islands) from 21 September 1968.
During the late 1950s until the early 1980s, TV Times suffered frequent printing disputes that often meant emergency or special combined editions.
The magazine was branded as TV Times Magazine from 3 October 1981 until 6 October 1984, the premise being it contained more than simply television listings. From November 1982 onwards, it carried listings for Channel 4 and its Welsh equivalent, S4C. On 7 October 1989, the programme schedule pages were printed in full colour for the first time. When the television listings were deregulated on 1 March 1991, TV Times began carrying listings for the BBC’s television channels which, up to that point, had only been printed in the BBC’s official listings magazine, Radio Times. On 11 February 2006, the magazine was refreshed for a more modern look including the double-page highlights of programmes on all channels as well as radio and kids’ television listings were scrapped, increasing the publication’s emphasis on big-star interviews and soaps.
On 15 March 2022, the television listings were given a refreshed layout which is similar to Radio Times, TV & Satellite Week and What’s on TV. The changes included a return of radio schedules to the magazine after a 16-year absence.

Angler’s Mail was a weekly angling magazine published in London, UK, by Future plc. It focused on all aspects of modern coarse fishing and was sold every Tuesday at a cover price of £2.20. Its latest audited average weekly sales were 30,606 for January–December 2016, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
The magazine published its final issue on 27 October 2020, concluding a 56-year run.
Launch and Early History
Angler’s Mail was first published in 1964 on green newsprint by Echo Publications, a small West End London publisher. By autumn 1965, circulation had fallen to 8,000–9,000 per week, and Echo planned to close the magazine.
At that time, the late John Ingham, then on the sports desk at The People newspaper (owned by Odhams Press), recognized its potential. He suggested acquiring it, and with support from the editor, the magazine was purchased for £8,000 in January 1966. Ingham recruited a new team, and the magazine was relaunched on 6 May 1966. Tragically, the editor of The People passed away after a long meeting about the relaunch, but the magazine’s relaunch went ahead as planned.

Shoot, or Shoot Monthly, was a football magazine published in Britain between 1969 and 2008. It later became a monthly, before reverting to a weekly, and is now in digital form only, via a website.
In the 1970s, Shoot merged with a rival publication, Goal, and for a while was sold as Shoot/Goal. Shoot’s circulation hit a high of 120,000 copies per week in 1996. It changed to a monthly magazine in 2001, selling in excess of 33,000 copies a month. It was relaunched as a weekly magazine in late February 2008, before publishers IPC sold off the brand in August 2008. Pedigree Toys and Brands have licensed the brand since that date and have produced special editions of the magazine, plus an on-line version. In June 2011, it launched an app version. They also produce the Shoot Annual and a number of other Shoot publications and branded products.
There were no issues for six weeks from 17 May to 21 June 1980, or for five weeks from 30 June to 28 July 1984, due to industrial action. When the magazine ran as a weekly, occasional ‘double issues’ were produced, particularly for the Christmas/New Year issue.

The Salopian is the official twice‑yearly magazine of Shrewsbury School, a historic independent boarding and day school in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England. It’s published to keep the school’s extended community informed and connected — especially former pupils (known as Old Salopians), current parents, and other members of the Salopian Club.
What The Salopian Is
-
School magazine: It’s the official magazine of Shrewsbury School, sometimes simply referred to as The Salopian.
-
Audience: Distributed to members of the Old Salopian Club and current parents of pupils.
-
Frequency: Published twice a year (typically summer and winter issues).
-
Content: Issues include news about the School, updates on alumni, reports on events and achievements, and other articles of interest to the school community. Readers can also submit personal news such as births, marriages, deaths, or career highlights for inclusion.
Historical Note
While the official school magazine is The Salopian in its current form, the name has appeared in the school’s history: in the 1950s, pupils including Richard Ingrams, Willie Rushton, Christopher Booker, and Paul Foot were involved with an irreverent student magazine The Salopian that helped inspire what later became the British satirical magazine Private Eye.
Accessibility
Past and current editions of The Salopian are available from Shrewsbury School’s website or by contacting the Salopian Club office; electronic PDFs can be sent to readers who prefer digital copies.
If you want, I can help you find specific editions (e.g., The Salopian No. 175 Summer 2025) or details on how to access them.
West Bromwich Albion F.C
The Club had a comprehensive hard copy collection of board meeting minute books, dating from the 19th century to the 1980s, and ‘Albion News’ matchday programmes from 1905 onwards, which needed to be digitised both from a security perspective as well as putting fragile documents into a format that could be regularly accessed for content generation. We produced searchable OCR’d PDF files for the purpose.
Using our ‘Digitiser®’ solution, we were able to complete this project quickly and efficiently.

Autocar is a weekly British automobile magazine published by Haymarket Media Group. Launched in 1895, it calls itself “the world’s oldest car magazine.” The current editor is Mark Tisshaw, with key team members including Steve Cropley, Rachel Burgess, James Attwood, Matt Prior, Matt Saunders, and Felix Page.
The magazine also has international editions in China, India, New Zealand, and South Africa.
History
Autocar began as The Autocar, published by Iliffe and Son Ltd. on 2 November 1895, at a time when there were reportedly only six or seven cars in the UK. It is suggested that Henry Sturmey launched the magazine in support of Harry J. Lawson, founder of the Daimler Company. Sturmey served as editor until he left in 1901.
Autocar claims to have invented the road test in 1928 with its analysis of the Austin 7 Gordon England Sunshine Saloon. Aside from strikes in the 1970s, the magazine has been published weekly throughout its history. Its name was shortened from The Autocar to Autocar in 1962.
In 1988, Autocar absorbed its longtime rival Motor, becoming Autocar & Motor until 1994, when it reverted to Autocar.
The magazine has a history of automotive “firsts,” including the first full road tests and independent performance tests of the Jaguar XJ220, McLaren F1, and Porsche 911 GT1. It also produced the first independently recorded performance figures for the Bugatti Veyron, published in the 31 May 2006 issue.
Classic & Sports Car is a British monthly magazine based in Twickenham, London, and published by Haymarket Media Group. Launched in April 1982, it focuses on classic cars and the people behind their design, ownership, and use, including period motorsport. The magazine features road tests, buying guides, product reviews, book features, profiles of automotive artists, as well as coverage of events and auctions. Its primary focus is on older, prestigious, and sporting cars, often higher-end and collectible models.
Each year, the magazine honours clubs and individuals who inspire fellow enthusiasts through the Classic & Sports Car Club Awards.
While firmly established in the UK, the magazine enjoys wide newsstand distribution in the US, reflecting the popularity of American classic cars, many of which feature in its pages. Advertisers include classic car dealers from the UK, Europe, and the US. Since April 2008, the magazine has also been available in France, published by Fink-Presse France.
The Motor (later simply Motor) was a British weekly car magazine founded on 28 January 1903 and published by Temple Press. It began in 1902 as Motorcycling and Motoring before the title was shortened. From the 14 March 1964 issue onward, the magazine was known simply as Motor. Compared to its rival The Autocar (later Autocar), Motor was considered more informative and conservative.
The magazine typically featured:
-
News and scoops on the latest cars
-
Motorsport updates and results
-
Car reviews – usually two per issue, each spanning two pages with specifications and impressions
-
Road tests – one per week, offering detailed analysis
In 1988, Motor was absorbed by its longtime rival Autocar, creating Autocar & Motor from the 7 September issue. The title reverted back to Autocar with the 21 September 1994 issue.
