Which Hispanic magazines folded in 2009?

That’s a question we’ve received many times since the start of the year from clients and others. Here’s a quick run-down of the closed titles (and last issue dates):

- “Fox Sports en Español”/Cuatro Media (April, 2009
- “Kena”/Megazine Publications (December/January, 2009)
- “Ocean Drive en Español”/SoBe News, Inc. (March, 2009)
- “Selecciones”/Reader’s Digest (June, 2009)
- “Sobre Ruedas”/Megazines Publications (December/January, 2009)

“ESPN Deportes la Revista” was also briefly inactive when it was dropped by Televisa Publishing in January but then revived by GW Publishing (based in Mexico) in March.

There were also some brave new launches in 2009: “LATINO” magazine (Latino Publishing group/Alfredo Estrada) and “Cocina al Maximo” (HyCite Corp. also marketers of the Royal Prestige line of cookware).
