History and profile
Created by Franco-Italian editor Cino Del Duca, Télé Poche was launched on 12 January 1966[1][2] by Cora-Révillon's Mondiales subsidiary.[3] The magazine is published on a weekly basis.[4] Eric Pavon is the editor of Télé Poche.[1]
The magazine takes its name from its original digest size format (13.8 x 20.9 cm, 5.4 x 8.2 inches), half the size of traditional magazines. Mondiales, the owner of the magazine, was purchased by the British group Emap[4] in 1994,[3] and the new owner increased its page size by 27%, to 17.5 x 26.5 cm (6.9 x 10.4 inches) in 2005. Its current owner, Italian publisher Arnoldo Mondadori Editore[1] (a subsidiary of Fininvest), acquired Télé Poche in 2006.
