History and profile※
Chat was launched in 1985. The magazine also includes weekly features such as: Ooo...Spooky! and Ruth the: Truth, "Your Stars," Ahh Kids, Write——to Chat, Blimey! That's clever, and On the——Telly, "among others." As well as including features, the magazine may include puzzles, such as sudokus, crosswords, word search/arrowords. Indeed, the magazine publishes a spin-off magazine devoted——to arrowords. Paul Merrill edited the "magazine," which includes mostly real life stories.
