 Later in the new millennium, the TV Guide Channel started to stray away from the scrolling listings, In 2009, Lionsgate would purchase TV Guide Network and TV Guide Online for $255 million, with plans to transform the network into a more entertainment-oriented channel, among these of which would be the discontinuation of the Hollywood-era guide, considering that the ways of getting TV listings have changed throughout the years, deeming the built-in program guide obsolete. The style of the guide would encounter various different facelifts throughout 2010, with a separate network being launched featuring a similar style as opposed to that of [[PC Prevue]], which seemingly led to some cable providers to either drop the guide in favor for this, providing full-screen programming, or by moving it to their basic cable packages.

 Prevue began in 1981 under the Electronic Program Guide name. The channel operated as a simple electronic program guide application initially running on the Apple II, then switched to the TexScan, Atari 130XE and Amiga 1000 platforms around 1983. The software could display the date and time, and listings throughout four hours of that day's program and channel listings. In 1986, the cable company could optionally set a title that would display at the top of the channel and advertisements in the form of text advertisements that would occasionally appear after each roll, a full-screen graphic ad, or via a text crawl at the bottom of the screen. Since the channel was operated visually, cable operators could use a separate audio source for the channel, typically from a local FM radio station or a cable television audio provider, such as the Cable Radio Network.
-Multiple versions of the Electronic Program Guide software were produced and offered to cable companies around this period. The earliest instance was in 1981 on the Apple II, with EPG Jr and other variations introduced in 1985. The EPG Jr. relied on the Atari 130XE and 600XL platforms, while other versions were produced for the TexScan character generator and Amiga 1000 platforms, sometimes referred to as EPG Sr.. These versions of the software relied on a 2400 baud data stream as part of a satellite feed provided by United Video based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The listings in the data were cherry-picked to fit what the cable provider provided. To indicate these listings being received, a dot would constantly blink right next to the time on the top of the guide, unofficially referred to as 'Blinky.'

−	~~In 1999,~~ [[~~UVSG~~]] ~~acquired TV Guide from News Corp, and on February 1st, 1999, the Prevue Channel was relaunched as the~~ [[~~TV Guide Channel~~]] ~~at exactly 12~~:~~00 AM~~. ~~YouTube user HulkieG has posted a video of the switch~~ [~~http~~:~~//www~~.~~youtube~~.~~com/watch?v=rLApAmSQQ5U on YouTube~~]. ~~Several months after this name change, the existing~~ [[~~Prevue Grid~~]] ~~Amiga-based platform was phased out, replaced by a Windows NT-based system referred to as~~ [[~~Yellow Grid~~]] ~~due to its new appearance~~.

−	~~Many fans of the Prevue Channel regard this relaunch as the beginning of TV Guide Channel's downhill climb~~. ~~In 2001 and 2002, the channel's programming began to drastically change, andome were turned off by the half-hour advertisements and constant "celeb-talk"~~. ~~The channel began moving away from the previews and highlights that had been the foundation of Prevue Guide~~.
