Layout
The magazine was published 5 days a week (Monday to Friday) in a 23" × 12.5" format that is slightly smaller than a tabloid. (It was, when folded, 11.5" × 12.5", which is almost a square.) Although labelled a magazine, it was printed on newsprint like a newspaper and had the same dimensions as the type of advertising "pull-out" sections currently favored by the CanWest Global chain. The magazine was 20 pages from Monday through Thursday (daily edition) and 24 pages on Friday (weekend edition). Weekly editions included sections such as:
- Home—headlines, weather, etc., akin to the front page of newspapers
- News—the feature article, plus an assortment of news and editorials (including fashion news)
- Goods—new or interesting products to check out
- Rub—celebrity news and gossip
- the Spread—the centre spread (with one article)
- Fix—assorted entertainment reviews
- Go—local concert and events listings
- Working—employment advice and local job listings
- Play—sports
- Hey—featuring comments on a selected issue by random ordinary folks
- Overdose—the last page, with humorous horoscopes, a letter column, crossword puzzles, Sex Advice from Strangers, etc.
