DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE: ABC FIGURE FOR JAN-JUNE 2014
Doctor Who Magazine has announce it’s new ABC figure for the January-June 2014 period, of 33,538.
While this is down around 7% on the record-breaking figure which was achieved over Doctor Who’s 50th anniversary, it is up by almost 6% on the equivalent January-June 2013 sales period.
DWM editor Tom Spilsbury, said:
We’re delighted with our new ABC figure. After the last period was boosted with the incredible sales of our 50th anniversary edition (which sold over 50,000 copies alone!), we were bracing ourselves for a fall. We thought that we might be down to under 30,000 for the first six months of 2014, which comparatively were always going to be a quiet period. However, for us to be up year-on-year is a stunning achievement, especially when you consider that during the January-June 2013 sales period we also had eight new TV episodes to help bolster sales of the magazine.
The magazine industry is continuing to find times very tough, with the overall market experiencing declines. However, we’re pleased to see our digital sales on the increase, as well as subscription levels – so the future is looking very bright for DWM! I’m sure we’ll be able to build on these figures for the next sales period, when we’ll have the benefit of a brand new Doctor getting his era underway!
Congratulations to all of DWM’s hard-working contributors, and many thanks to all our loyal readers.
