In the 1990s, TV Guide acquired the Prevue Channel and renamed it the TV Guide Channel. Like its predecessor, it scrolls TV listings on the bottom portion of the screen. However the top portion now features celebrity gossip, movie talk, and commercials In addition to the movie trailers that once took up the bulk of the Prevue Channel's programing. Unlike most TV channels, the programs on the TV Guide Channel generally only last from 30 seconds to a minute, and thus are usually scheduled to play on the hour (for instance a show might appear at 12:45 and again at 1:45).
