Updated: The Contraction Of IPC: A List Of Sell-Offs So Far
IPC Media is off-loading two more magazines in its great right-sizing of 2010. This time, it’s Model Collector and Stamp Magazine being sold to MyHobbyStore, the cross-platform publisher and retailer.
MyHobbyStore is both an ecommerce seller of hobby-related merchandise around the world and a publisher of specialist consumer magazines in the same fields.
Here are IPC’s sell-offs to date…
– Cage & Aviary Birds to Kelsey Publishing
– Guitar & Bass to Anthem Publishing
– World Soccer, Racecar Engineering and Classic Boat to Chelsea Magazines (reportedly)
– Loaded, Superbike, Prediction and HiFi News to Vitality (reportedly 1 & 2)
– Web User magazine to Dennis
– Aeroplane, Mini World, Ships Monthly and Park Home & Holiday Caravan to Kelsey Publishing
– Caravan to Warners Group Publications.
– Model Collector and Stamp Magazine to MyHobbyStore.
– Loaded, Superbike, Prediction and Hair to Vitality Publishing.
It is sad that it has become a piecemeal way of selling the brands.
