MPH Magazine Will Cease Production

Source: Bloomberg Radio

Bloomberg radio news is reporting that American Media has turned off the lights at several of its magazine properties, including "MPH".

Oh well, there goes "Backseat Betty" and my comp subscription...

Re: MPH Magazine Will Cease Production

I hated that mag, I prefered it when they were "AMI Autoworld Weekly". Then they changed format, almost like my "FHM, and Maxim" mags. I cancelled.

I have a subscription. I've read most of the issues, and the first 3-4 issues were pretty funny, but then it really got lazy. I thought after reading the most recent issue it might be about done.

I liked that mag. It was a better read then MT/ C&D. Of course I just sent my renewal money in a week ago.

Thats a real shame. What little I read of them was humorous. Too bad someone cant maintain the creativity.

Interesting; I didn't know they even changed to MPH Magazine. The last I knew of it, it was AMI Autoworld.

That's a shame because MPH was vastly superior to the trash ToyoHonda loving MotorTrend.

Re: MPH Magazine Will Cease Production

I know; the AMI Autoworld that I knew was much less biased. They wrote up a pretty good review on the Grand Prix.
