This is a bit of bad news. Team Rock Ltd. \u2013 the company behind Classic Rock and Prog magazines (amongst others) \u2013 has gone into administration<\/a>. The administrators were called in five days before Christmas, and staff were laid off with no pay with immediate effect. They watched as locks were changed on the offices.<\/p>\n

This is the shitty way companies operate (I\u2019ve mentioned before how I was told to make a load of temporary staff redundant just before Christmas one year, when I\u2019d pleaded with the powers that be to at least wait until afterwards).<\/p>\n

Hopefully, the titles will be bought by someone, although I sincerely hope that the trend towards articles about Depeche Mode and other 80s\/90s pop crap in Classic Rock magazine is arrested by any new owner.<\/p>\n

Since I wrote this, I received the next issue of Classic Rock as usual in mid-January. Today, I got an email from the magazine with a link to a free Pink Floyd ebook and the news that Classic Rock is now part of Future Publishing again.<\/p>\n
