Mopar Action Magazine

[GN]

I called today to renew my subscription to Mopar Action magazine. The woman that I talked to said that MA is no longer being published. This current issue is the last.

[RCCDrew]

What?!?!? Did Gromer or EBerg die or something???

[John_Kunkel]

From E-Booger hisself:

Guys 'n' gals:

The reports of our death are a bit premature. Here's the straight scoop:

The magazine (print) has continued to sell well, and ad revenue has also been strong. The problem has been newsstand "space"...it is obvious that fewer and fewer outlets sell magazines, and those that do devote less floor and shelf space. The internet has been a "disruptive technology" for all print media. The publisher's current distributor decided he had to carry fewer titles. We made the first few cuts over prior years but this looks tough.

The August issue has been printed and will be distributed as usual. Harris (the publisher) is scrambling to find new distribution (newsstand), if that happens, there won't even be a hiccup. If not, we may upgrade the online version (a lot!) and send a print issue to subscribers.

Either way, thanks for your support!

Cliff Gromer, Ed.
Rick Ehrenberg, Tech Ed

I like print magazines but I could do with a digital version.  Less space used in my house and it keeps the magazine alive at least in electronic form...

[RallyeMike]

Of course. I just renewed for 2 more years. 

[Scaregrabber]

Apparently Gromer is going to Christler Power and they are going to honor the MA subscriptions. No word on Ehrenberg.

glad that's cleared up  , still have 2 years subscription   

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

It's not true.  Gromer just posted a bit ago that they are still working with Harris to get everything resolved to continue Mopar Action as is.

I always wished they would have updated with the times. They would have been more profitable.

[Aero426]

I don't care for the digital publictions.   Too hard to read on the toilet.

[polywideblock]

yeah call me old school , I like to have the mag in my hand and pages to turn 

[Mike DC]

 
I like having a paper rag too.

[RCCDrew]

But you could have both.

"Super Chevy" magazine can be VERY handy in the bathroom at times.

Ok... well stuff hit the fan today.  So MA is done.  But they have not come together with Chrysler Power for future work.  They are in discussions with a few different Mopar Mags about future offerings.

I just got off the phone with Rick...   yeah... this is essentially correct but the situation is complicated.   Stay tuned.     

[Sublime/Sixpack]

I hope they work something out. I've subscribed to Mopar Action for around 25 years now. Would certainly miss the good tech info./articles!

[polywideblock]

I hope they work something out they still owe me for two years subscription  

so this means all we have now is MCG ,Chrysler power and that "other "  crappy rag MM        

            why would one of  the only real mopar rags fold                    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2akt3P8ltLM

[66FBCharger]

That sucks. Mopar Action was my favorite magazine!

[mopar0166]

Yes, I heard this, but Chrysler Power is now going to have a Mopar action Editorial section  for their magazine

[RallyeMike]

I know! Without the continuance of Mopar Action, how will I know if I should black out my core support or not?!?!   

Gonna miss it for sure.

Rick was at the shop Sunday...   I might just leave Sinnamon's core support alone just to piss him off       He had to mention it looking at another customers' Cuda even though it's nowhere near complete.

Whatever happens...  it probably won't be called Mopar Action.

Looks like Chrysler Power magazine is going to help keep Mopar Action alive ! Check out the Chrysler Power website for more details.

I went to their site but didn't see anything about Mopar Action. Where were you looking?

[polywideblock]

        CPWEBSTORE.COM and click on the CPMA link

         I couldn't find link but it came as an add to the right of page while filling out "contact us" form

Tried, but saw nothing about MA. Thanks anyway.

[polywideblock]

                                   just got my refund from CP mag 

                          they tried their best but it just wasn't to be, things didn't work out 

                                 RIP mopar action 

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

Yeah, sadly they couldn't come to a middle ground for Mopar Action and Chrysler Power.

Mopar Action isn't done yet.  They have a few tricks up their sleeves to keep it going.  They will announce more when it is finalized.

They could start by refunding my fucking money.  

[polywideblock]

check your paypal acc. they sent me an email yesterday explaining it all and when I checked it was in paypal acc 

[Daytona R/T SE]

No.

I mean mopar action.

I didn't get sucked into that CP/MA thing.

I had just renewed right before they decided to give up and keep subscriber's money.

[RallyeMike]

I'm not going to start balling over thirty bucks or whatever, .... but it would be nice to hear something directly from MA on the subject, posted on the website, facebook, etc.

I'm sure we will hear something sooner or later when it is definitive.

I'm with you on that one ,they owe me 2 1/2  years subscription  at overseas rates .
just waiting to se what happens , there would have to be a class action against harris publishing  eventually  you'd think 

[RallyeMike]

I'm sure we will hear something sooner or later when it is definitive.

Well, after 24 years of faithful subscribing, I got my notice. It came in the form of a claim form from the Supreme Court of NY giving me until July 6 to file any claim I have against Harris Publishing. I guess they aren't even attempting to refund people - you have to ask for it.

[polywideblock]

so I wonder if us guys overseas get a shot at that    they owe me 2 1/2 years 

[RallyeMike]

Likely printers, distributors, and lawyers will get paid. Subscribers will get squat. Subscribers from foreign lands will get 50% of squat. 

I'll miss that rag, but life goes on.

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Anyone heard anything new on this matter?

[John_Kunkel]

"Harris Publishing went out of business. Mopar Action is now being published by AMGParade..
Same staff, same great content. The next issue will have a December cover date and will be in your mailbox and on newsstands in mid-October."

[polywideblock]

and your subscription will still be honoured   

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Outstanding!

I see it's on the newstands, but I have not rcvd either the Dec 16 issue or a refund.

Has anyone rcvd a copy or know what's going on?

[polywideblock]

funny I was just wondering about the same thing, cliff gromer  promised that subscriptions would be honoured  in his email. but I have yet to receive mine 

[Daytona R/T SE]

I just picked up the December 2016 issue at the local House of Inbreds ( Wal-Mart ) this morning.

From what I've read on that "other" Mopar forum...

Subscribers will start receiving their copies starting with the February 2017 issue.

Ok, thanks. I guess I'll buy Dec 2016 off the rack.
