TV Guide is in tough shape overall, but local advertising in particular 
is a shadow of its former self.    Also, their new format has cut 
coverage of daytime hours when local differences were most important.  
Now they emphasize prime time network and cable channels and they could 
almost consolidate to an Eastern Time Zone edition, like they do for 
DirecTV.
