  1. Channel Guide has terrible delivery issues. For a while, I was getting it on time. But once I renewed (with a too-good-to-be-true offer of two free ones), I no longer receive it until I call. By then, about a week has elapsed into the new month, and I’ve missed a number of good things. It defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?

    • Hello everyone,
      Some of you have expressed frustration over Channel Guide Magazine’s
      delivery issues. I want you to know that our team realizes not
      delivering our magazine in a timely fashion is unacceptable and we are
      taking additional measures in regards to expediting delivery by
      working with USPS and adjusting our print dates. With the holidays and
      increased mail volumes at USPS we normally experience slower than
      usual deliveries but we expect to see overall significant improvements effective with the January Issue.

      Thank you for voicing your concerns and your loyalty to our magazine.
      We are grateful for your continued business and are committed to
      providing you with the best possible service.

      Blanca Guzman
      Circulation Director
