Bowling This Month closes it's doors
« on: October 07, 2013, 04:50:28 PM »
Read this on another site and couldn't believe it. I personally called myself and got a recorded message saying due to the bad economy, their forced to cease operations. It's funny, I just received my October issue today. I've been receiving this magazine since it was in a newspaper format back 10 or 15 years ago. I think I just renewed a couple of months ago for 2 years at a cost of $68 down the drawn. Great technical magazine. Lot better than Bowler's Journal, which is mostly advertising. Oh well. Hopefully it starts up again some day.

Wow, I just renewed also. Amazing how many of us renewed for two years and are out of luck and money with no warning. I love their info; best in the business, but is it just me, or does it seem like they could have gone digital like everyone else and dropped the failing tournament?

Failure to enter the new millennium and go digital led to their demise.  It's a shame.  With there being roughly 800 million people worldwide using tablet devices (not sure how many of those are bowlers), going digital with their subscriptions and maybe adding some video/interactive content I'm sure could have not only saved their business, but boomed it.
