Of course I paid special attention to the listings pages that are shown very briefly at the end of both.

Although really, both appear to be mockups, since the channel bullets and the print don't look quite right.
There's something odd about the binding as well, since it looks stapled -- and this was more than 10 years into the bound digest era.

Whoever did the voiceover sounds awfully a lot like the same guy who does those "Imported from Detroit" Chrysler commercials today. Wonder if it's the same fella?
