PC Prevue (sometimes referred to as Prevue Junior) was an iteration of the Prevue Guide software which ran on Microsoft Windows instead of AmigaOS, similar to Hollywood, the software the TV Guide Channel utilized.

The software seemed to have support for both a split-screen format similar to what was used on Prevue Grid but also had a feature that promoted programming On Now, Coming Up Next, Movies, Sports, which includes its channel, time, and the next time the program will air (referred to as PIE). The listings grid lacked scrolling capabilities of any kind, resorting to showing listings in pages. If provided, weather information could be shown between rotations.

In later years, PC Prevue seemed to have been replaced with the Hollywood Software-Only (SWO) distribution.

One copy of PC Prevue is known to have been dumped: Version 2.4, dated 2/27/1997.
