Feedback on the topic was quite mixed and at this stage the paper has decided to keep the guide.

CHOP the TV guide. We get it online, on the TV or from national newspapers.

More local news would be good.

I WOULD be maintaining as many features to your paper as you can.

With the moves afoot in Fairfax I think $1.60 will look pretty expensive if the paper simply becomes a catalogue distribution media. I would be working on ways to value add not reduce services.

WE don’t use the Advocate TV guide so I’d be happy to have more community news - but looking at last week’s paper, it looks to me that the space would likely to be used for more advertising rather than putting more community news in. 

Would that be the case?

EVER since the new editor came the paper has got thinner and thinner. 

There must be something happening in Gloucester.

THE older population would miss it.

GOOD that you have stopped printing the TV guide.

I don’t like to complain but I couldn’t read it anyway as the font was too small and the paper is generally left in the room with poor light near the TV.

DON’T need it in the paper. I’d rather have ‘Out and About’ interviewing locals on topical events. 

Check out the Great Lakes Advocate. 

I have the Advocate delivered every Wednesday. Yesterday it took me four minutes to read. Now that is sad.

I AM appalled at you dropping the TV guide.

I will not be buying the Advocate in the future.

I DON'T think we need the TV guide in the paper.
