It actually features a picture of a TV that reads "TV Guide Sneak Prevue". I think this was originally supposed to change at the same time "Prevue" became "TV Guide Channel". Instead, "Sneak Prevue" was still using the same graphics and music from 1995 or 96. That is until the summer of 1999, when "Sneak Prevue" was given a new look. I'll tried to look for that book to see what I mean.
That's true - all of the promotional and sales branding of Sneak Prevue from February 1999 on was "TV Guide Sneak Prevue." And yet, they never updated the on-air look to reflect the new name or logo.
I found a decent quality version of the logo at one point, but I lost it. Here's the best I could do (you can barely read it, but the words at the bottom are "Sneak Prevue") http://cl.ly/2F461r2D0C3g2D3x013X

The same person that's currently the announcer for other networks and stations like "Disney Channel", "KTLA", "KCOP", and was the officially the announcer for the TV show, "Maximum Exposure". He also did some announcements for "Prevue" back in 1998. I knew that I recognize him once I heard his voice.

Matthew, that is very, very, very (quoting Cmdt. Eric Lassard, Police Academy), authentic looking for a Sneak Prevue screenshot. Looks like that is what Sneak Prevue would be like today. Just wonder what Sneak Prevue would be in 2 different HD formats. One HD format with 4:3 safezone graphics and another HD format without the 4:3 safezone graphics.

Pretty good! May I ask what font you used?
I use Helvetica Narrow Bold. In that way, I don't know what is the font for the Sneak Prevue. If tin or RudyValencia had that font (for Sneak Prevue), I could download it.

When was the image taken? Looks kind of odd to me and at least the white background was kept.
As I mentioned before, it's from that black book filled with photos of designs, with many entertainment promotional footages that was used in 1999. Sorry, the quality is a bit dark and the light on the right is a bit of a distraction. My mobile phone couldn't capture a clear image.
