TV no Tomo Channel: G-Guide for Wii (テレビの友チャンネル Gガイド for Wii, Terebi no Tomo Chan'neru G Gaido for Wii) was a Wii channel that featured an electronic program guide service developed by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory and operated by G-Guide.

The channel was launched on March 4, 2008, exclusively in Japan, and it was available as a free download on the Wii Shop Channel.[2] The service was discontinued on July 24, 2011, due to the end of analog broadcasting in Japan.[3][4]

It is the only Wii software to ever officially use the console's TV remote control function.[5]
