The Toronto Sun / TV Extra

Both circulated in metro Toronto.

"TV Magazine" (Sunday; weekly):

The Toronto Sun and its affiliated papers in Ottawa, Edmonton and Calgary distribute their TV magazines (and probably other weekend stuff) on Sundays. This is normal in the US, but in Canada, TV magazines, Sunday comics, ads and other weekend stuff are normally distributed on Saturdays (or Fridays, if a paper is not published on Saturdays).

[25] is not in grids.

TV Extra (Saturday; bi-weekly):

Distributed for free, just like TV Facts -- only a little slicker. Similar in structure and type as the Sun, except that there's no listings for the Rochester channels and that [25] is in grids only.
