Sun-Herald reintroduces TV liftout after reader complaints
Fairfax’s Sunday Sydney paper The Sun-Herald has reintroduced a TV liftout five weeks after dropping a dedicated section as part of a relaunch of the newspaper.
The Sun-Herald also today increased its cover price by 30c to $2.30, a rise of 15%.
The TV liftout now comes within the newspaper’s new Unwind entertainment liftout. The move follows a backlash from readers unhappy about the lack of a dedicated TV guide following the paper’s relaunch.
It marks the fifth strategy for the newspaper’s TV coverage in just under a year.
So … old fuddy-duddies who like a ‘paper’ guide in the lounge room are expected to jump onto the Sun Herald’s ‘facebook’ page to find out why the ‘paper’ guide has been and gone and then returned again.
Is this ironic?
I didn”t like the new format the first week but it has grown on me since, but I really don”t like this weeks, I”ll have loose pages all over the place, put the staples back in. Please.
I haven’t looked back since cancelling my 7 day subscription and starting to use the great iPad app. I feel dirty for not paying, but until they start charging for the app there’s not much I can do about it.
As an added bonus I don’t have to look at their horrendous new redesign! The design was much better 2 years ago IMHO.
Why do you repeat movies so many times in one week or the week after. I saw one movie advertised in the tv pull out twice in one day, then advertised on another channel in the same week. There must be billions of movies you can choose from instead of so many repeats. Even movies that are on one week, are on the following week. I would like to know how you come about choosing them.
It’s not only the movies, it’s lots of other programs repeated and repeated.
I am glad that formula1 is back, even thou it is only a short version, far to many adds, which cuts out a lot of the race.
