Magazines

A good magazine to advertise our documentary with is ‘TV Choice’.

Their TV listings are for all major digital and terrestrial TV channels.

It is the UK’s biggest selling consumer magazine, selling 1.3m copies a week, and is cheap as it only costs 42p. (http://www.bauer.co.uk/tv-choice )
