mick b Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Just looking at SAM publications website and noticed there is no longer an option to view latest issue of MAM. Although I haven’t bought this for years since Neil Robinson was at the helm but was its demise announced? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Not sure if it has been sold off or just a book keeping change, new website here. I got an email about it I guess 'cause I was on their mail list. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Picked up the March copy at my newsagent last Thursday so still alive and well although I do believe that their website is being revamped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Mc Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 It seemingly has changed to a different publishing company - although I have a feeling that there may be some common ownership or other type of link with the previous publishers.

treker_ed Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Model Aircraft Monthly is no longer published by by SAMI, it has been sold off and is an independent publication now. Hence why on the front cover you no longer have the "genuine SAMI publication" logo. (I have other sources confirming the information directly) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Fleming Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) The titles appear to be licensed out to ‘‘independent’ Companies with related ownership. Means in the event of any difficulties/changes the ownership of the titles is protected as the magazines aren’t part of the assets of the companies who produce them Edited March 1, 2019 by Dave Fleming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markp Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Model Aircraft is now being published by MA Publishing. the title was sold to the son-in-law and daughter of the owner of SAM Publications. Tim Upson-Smith is now Associate Editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
