[DandyDon]

From this site: http://cincinnati.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/stories/2004/03/22/daily21.html

"F&W Publications has completed the purchase of Rodale's Scuba Diving magazine, a publication for scuba and skin diving enthusiasts."

Quote from the article:
"Scuba Diving offers its readers the most thorough, authoritative editorial coverage of the sport and the magazine represents an opportunity for F&W to add an exciting new subject area to our portfolio," said CEO Stephen Kent.

"most thorough, authoritative editorial coverage"

You happened to catch that quote too I see. That was a very bold statement they made.

You guys amaze me! You ***** and moan about Rodales but you seem to know all about it. If you don't like it, don't buy it. They don't make money because you like it. They make money because you buy it!

What exactly does the F&W in F&W Publications stand for? And what other magazines does it own and/or operate?
