July-December 1999 ABCs – Performance By Publisher

July-December 1999 ABCs – Performance By Publisher

The following tables show the overall performances of each magazine publishing group in the July-December 1999 ABCs, released on Friday last week. Attic Futura, Dennis Publishing and Future Publishing are the only companies to show overall annual growth in their portfolios.

The consumer publishing giants, EMAP and IPC, both saw slight decline in their overall sales despite the launch of Later by IPC and FHM Collections and Heat by EMAP.
