City Limits magazine was founded in 1981 in London by former staff members of the weekly London listings magazine Time Out, after its owner Tony Elliott abandoned running Time Out on co-operative principles.
City Limits was edited in its prime by jazz writer John Fordham and former Oz writer Nigel Fountain. This alternative weekly arts and listings magazine for London continued to be run as a co-operative for most of its existence, then underwent a chaotic final period of three different owners within two years before it finally ceased publication in 1993. Among other journalists, it launched the careers of Melissa Benn, Kim Newman, Dave Hill and Sheryl Garrett (who went on to edit The Face magazine). It was also an early site for the writings of the art critic Matthew Collings.
City Limits was a Canadian television series, which aired on Citytv and later MuchMusic in the 1980s. Airing on Fridays at midnight, and on Saturdays, the program aired alternative music videos.
The program was originally hosted by Christopher Ward, later by Kim Clarke Champniss, and finally by Simon Evans. When the program was aired on CITY in the early 1980s, Mike Myers made several appearances, including performing as Wayne Campbell (see Wayne's World).
After alternative rock's commercial breakthrough in the early 1990s, the series was cancelled and replaced by the daily series The Wedge.
