History and profile
Katso started in 1960 as a TV guide,{{cite book|title=The Europa World Year Book 2003|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XLvU9lroRuUC&pg=PA1615|date=10 July 2003|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-1-85743-227-5|page=1615}} 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.
