TV Now (stylised as TV NOW) is[citation needed] an Irish magazine containing a television guide, interviews with television stars and other television-related items. It is part of the VIP publishing franchise of Michael O'Doherty. TV Now was launched in 2000[1] as the last of O'Doherty's co-ordinated business ventures in Ireland with his former business partner John Ryan; it succeeded Magill in 1997 and VIP in 1999 and preceded later titles such as the teenage-oriented Kiss (2002),[2] the glossy monthly targeted at women in the age group of eighteen to thirty-four Stellar[3] and the failed New York Dog venture in New York City. TV Now competes[citation needed] with Ireland's most popular television magazine, the RTÉ Guide (also the most popular magazine in the country overall) and, more recently,[when?] with the Irish version of the United Kingdom's most popular television magazine What's on TV.[4]
