Canada Wide's TV Week picks up some valuable pieces from the TV Guide closure

One of the beneficiaries of the Transcon's discontinuation of the print edition of TV Guide was TV Week, the magazine published by Canada Wide Media of Vancouver. According to a story in mastheadonline (sub requ'd), Canada Wide negotiated a deal to attempt to fulfill the remaining issues of some 25,000 TV Guide subscribers and only 400 of them cancelled rather than take up the offer (leaving TV Guide to refund their money). The deal with Transcon also included access to 25,000 lapsed subs, though there's no word on how many of those Canada Wide has been able to convert. Regardless, it will be big boost for TV Week's current 43,500 subscriber pool.
