History and profile

Katso started in 1960 as a TV guide,[2] 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[3] and is published weekly by Aller Media Oy.[1] The company acquired the magazine in 2006.[4] The weekly is based in Helsinki.[1] [5]

In the 1960s the magazine was very influential in shaping the early Finnish television context.[6] Katso presents the annual Telvis television award.
