The following is a list of each of the regional editions of TV Guide, which mentions the markets that each regional edition served and the years of publication. Each edition is listed under exactly one region (generally either for a single city, or a single or multiple neighboring states or provinces). Thus, for editions overlapping region lines, the listing appears in only one of the neighboring regions. For example, the Nebraska edition also included stations in Sioux City, Iowa and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. During the period that TV Guide published local program listings from 1953 to 2005, the magazine did not print regional editions for the U.S. territories, although Puerto Rico has a similar magazine called Teve Guía. Also, three U.S. states, Delaware, South Dakota and Wyoming, never had their own editions. The northern part of Delaware (part of the Philadelphia market) was served by the Philadelphia edition, and the southern part (part of the Salisbury market) by the Washington-Baltimore edition. Stations in eastern South Dakota (Sioux Falls market) appeared in the Nebraska edition, and subscribers in western South Dakota (Rapid City) automatically received the New York Metropolitan edition. The Northern Colorado edition almost exclusively concentrated on cable systems in Greeley and Fort Collins, while the subscribers in the western Wyoming markets of Riverton, Rock Springs and Jackson automatically received the Salt Lake editions. The markets that served as the primary area, mostly those with white numbers on black channel bullets, are listed in bold text. In some editions, multiple stations appeared on the same channel, which required the editors to be creative in assigning channel bullets to stations. For example, the Montana edition at one time listed channel 2 stations in Billings (black bullet with white number), Spokane (white bullet with black number), Salt Lake (horizontally striped white bullet with black number), and Denver (white bullet with center black stripe containing white number).
