Next month, for the first time in more than 50 years, Canada's TV Guide won't be available on the newsstands. In an increasingly common move, the publication is shifting its listings online, ditching the print version.

As consumers spend more of their time online, Transcontinental Inc., which publishes the Canadian TV Guide, apparently believes consumers would rather get their TV listings in digital form, Reuters reports. The print edition's circulation tumbled to 243,000 from 430,000 over the past four years. Canada's TV Guide will shift online and offer free listings supported by advertising.

The future of the U.S. version of the print edition is safe, for now. Despite falling circulation and a website that gets over 3 million visitors a month, Gemstar-TV Guide International has no immediate plans to stop the print publication. "This is a much, much bigger magazine. It's the biggest magazine in the country," spokeswoman Eileen Murphy said.
