December 2013 will be the last issue of Monitoring Times.

I've subscribed for a few years now, and used to back in the late 80's-early 90's. Unfortunately, the old magazine are gone (unless buried in a forgotten box somewhere). That's one good thing about the printed magazines, referring to them later. Still have old copies of WRTH & Passport to Worldband Radio. They may not be current information at the time of publishing, which is a bit of a problem, but sure are nice & historical.

Will miss MT.

A sign of the times. One of the biggest costs in publishing (next to salaries which in MT's case were minimal due to mainly volunteer columnists and the Van Horn family) is hard printing. In a digital age these costs are rising more and more. Seems that people simply didn't flock to subscribe to MT Express in their droves as hoped for. The hard copy was still the most popular among the readership. Hence the collapse.  I understand that Pop Comm's digital magazine, delivered via Zinio, is proving a great success. That's how I read it on my tablet, saving money and printing out only when needed.
