'FHM' Closes its U.S. Doors
Emap's Laddie Title Will Continue Online
By Nat Ives
Published: December 13, 2006
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- If you thought magazine shutdowns were over for 2006, you were wrong: Emap said this morning that it is pulling the plug on the U.S. edition of FHM.
"As part of the continuing review of its portfolio, Emap today announces it has decided to suspend the publication of the U.S. edition of FHM," the company said in a statement. "The decision is consistent with the group's strategy of focusing resources on faster growth platforms and has been taken in light of the difficult trading conditions in the U.S. market."
Those difficult conditions led to a raft of magazine closures this year, including Condé Nast Publications' Cargo, Time Inc.'s Teen People, American Media's Celebrity Living, Hearst Magazines' Weekend and Shop Etc. and Hachette Filipacchi Media U.S.'s ElleGirl and For Me. Like Teen People and ElleGirl, moreover, the FHM brand will continue to live online.
International editions live on
"The U.S. online site, www.FHMUS.com, which forms an important part of the brand's ongoing and increasing international presence, will continue to operate," the company said. "The decision does not affect the U.K. edition of FHM, which is the leading men's monthly magazine in its market, or the 30 international editions published under license with partners worldwide."
Calls to FHM's U.S. office were unreturned.
Ad pages at FHM from January through November fell 19.7% from the equivalent period in 2005, according to the Publishers Information Bureau. Its most recent circulation report showed a total paid and verified average of 1.25 million for the first half of 2006, down 3.2% from first-half 2005. The title was also off 6.6% at newsstands.

Man, that bites for sure. I always enjoyed getting FHM in the mail. I gues I at least still have Maxim. Can anyone recommend another magazine along the same lines?

Guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news yet again but....
The Official U.S. Playstation Magazine is no more as of issue 112.
Just got the recent issue (which is coincidentally the last issue of my subscription) and it says "FINAL ISSUE OPM: 1997 - 2007" on the cover. And inside there's a "NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS" that I'm too lazy to type, but it does state that current customers will have their subscription transferred over to EGM Magazine.
And if you want a refund:
Refund Request
OPM Refund

Free Subscription to FHI (For Her Information):
http://www.forherinformation.com/subscribe_online.php
Introducing Our New Quarterly Magazine For Women.
In 2003, Beth Aldrich started her own creative production company, In Her Shoes, LLC; her main current projects are For Her Information TV; the quarterly publication For Her Information magazine, and FHI Online. The series has been aired domestically on CAN-TV Chicago Channel 21, PAX-TV in Chicago, the national cable network i-Lifetv (nine million households) and internationally on the HOP! Family Network in Israel (dubbed in Russian, Hebrew and Islamic) and most recently has agreed to a National three-year syndication deal with the PBS Network beginning in September 2006.
The FHI Concept was born from the idea that “women are alike more than they’re different” and that women rely on one another to improve their lives by sharing answers, ideas and solutions. The FHI media brand reflects Beth’s belief that “if you take care of yourself, you can then cultivate others and together nurture the earth.”

Man, I had 22 years of FHM left on my sub. Giant revamped a few issues back and went in the toilet, imho.
OPM, I won't miss too much, it never rubbed me right.

I'm actually glad it died, I was getting to the point I wouldn't even look at it, and I had about 8 years remaining.. Maybe it will get sold off to something better. I would assume not

I remember...gosh...2 or 3 years ago I got a free subscription to Mens Health with a linkie from this forum, and keep in mind i've not gotten an issue in over a year, and today a nice $60 bill showed up at my house.
