History and profile

edit

Katso started in 1960 as a TV guide,[2][3] but in 2003 extended to entertainment and celebrity gossip. For a short period after its 2003 renovation, the magazine was known as Katso! and was issued two times a week. In 2008 it reverted to being a TV guide abandoning all gossip journalism and focusing on inside views on television programs.

Katso is part of Aller Media[4] and is published weekly by Aller Media Oy.[1] The company acquired the magazine in 2006.[5] The weekly is based in Helsinki.[1][6]

In the 1960s the magazine was very influential in shaping the early Finnish television context.[2] Katso presents the annual Telvis television award.
