Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia reported that
revenues fell 11.9% from $47.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $42.2
million in the second quarter of 2013, as an increase in merchandising revenues
was offset by decreases in publishing and broadcasting.
Total publishing revenues tumbled 16% from $28.8 million to $24.2 million, due
largely to the absence of Whole Living and Everyday
Food, which were closed towards the end of 2012. On a same-title basis,
MSLO’s other magazines actually saw total print advertising revenues increase
slightly, according to MSLO interim Principal Executive Officer Dan Taitz.
Digital advertising revenues also increased in the quarter.
