Am I the only one that didn't know that you must now request the TV NOW book be included in your Sunday paper??? The only way I found out is I had to call this morning for a missed paper and the automated recording tells you when you call. You have to go to mysa.com, key word TV NOW and request it be added to your current subscription. It's currently at no extra charge and there is a dead line but don't remember when it was.

Hope this helps someone like me that didn't know. Thats the only reason i get the Sunday paper delivered. Well, that and the adds and coupons.

I'm a Sunday-only subscriber, and I hadn't heard about this either. So I looked into it, and you have until June 28 to notify them that you want to continue to receive the TV Now supplement at no extra charge with your Sunday subscription, effective July 5.

With the on-screen TV listings and program guides that are included with most pay-TV services, the Express is probably hoping to reduce expenses by eliminating that section of the paper for those who don't really have a need for it.

What's going to be interesting is how the delivery people ensure those subscribers who choose to continue with the TV Now supplement actually receive a paper with the TV now included. Maybe they have a foolproof plan ready to be implemented, but somehow I see the potential for chaos come July 5.

I didn't know this, either. I use the online video guides or the one on the TV, so I never look at the TV Now any more. Thanks for the heads up.

That will be interesting. I guess they will be bringing me my copy every week because it wasn't in my paper!! Without the tv book, I don't need their papaer.

I see there is a form included in today's TV Now that people without internet access can fill out and send in. You can also call them and tell them you want to continue receiving it.

On a side note, it looks like they recently stopped stapling the pages of the TV Now section. Anything to reduce expenses, I guess.

I understand the need to cut expenses, but there is nothing left of that paper anymore. Some of the daily issues are a joke...with each section being just a page or two. I enjoy reading the paper, but cancelled the subscription months ago due to increasing rates and decreasing news. How sad will it be when major cities don't even have a daily paper anymore.

I actually like the idea because I never read the thing. Which leads to the obvious question of does anybody actually read it?

actually, it's almost midnight and there's a screaming baby in the next room. This makes two nights in a row she has become extremely difficult at night for some reason. She's a very good baby, so it's not normal, but probably has something to do with the crazy schedule we have been on. Besides, it's Sunday night and everything was closed by 8:00 PM, which sucked for me when I was at the Swatch store on the Champs at about 8:30 luckily I got one earlier in the day at the Louvre store. another good thing about this city, 9 Swatch stores
