SCD Drops Coachs Corner from advertising

[oldjudge]

Nice. Why did it take them years to do this? When they can provide a satisfactory answer to that I will consider subscribing again, not before.

[RichardSimon]

Too little, too late. This will probably be like a pin prick to CC, I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of their bids come from the website.

[philliesphan]

was needed to warrant this change? Obvious forgeries for years, declining subscriptions, declining advertisers. I'm with Richard on this -- seems too little too late. I wish SCD the best and hope that they will do well with advertisers displaying integrity. But it will take an exceptionally long time to win back readers and advertisers...an almost insurmountable obstacle in an increasingly digital age.

Kudos on the move, at any rate.

This is great news...will SCD be able to survive without their ad revenue?

[toppcat]

SCD needs to move to a twice a month format like Goldmine to save on costs I think and revamp their whole approach. Some issues there is literally nothing of substance being written about. Not sure what will happen after this though but since most of the articles are written by T O'C it may not affect things much from the editorial side. Ad revenue is another story.....

Good New!
Glad SCD finally gave C.C. the boot

[Bill Stone]

I just received a renewal notice in the mail today which I promptly threw away BEFORE I read this news. They will still have to convince me that it is worth it but this is a positive step.

Like Bill- I just threw away my Subscription offer, but for 54 cents an issue, I'm going to call them and subscribe, just to send a positive message....

Michael O'Keeffe hates autographs!

I like O'Keefe's writing a lot better when he's crapping on Bruce.

[J.McMurry]

Wow, great news. News I thought I would never hear, actually.

I too will take a "wait and see" approach before renewing,as it wasn't just the CC BS that I had against the magazine, but also a lack of content.

But for me, this is a big step in the right direction for SCD.

[RichardSimon]

O'Keeffe does not hate autographs, he hates the scum who sell bogus autographs.
