Parent of Astronomy Magazine Divesting All Assets and Closing...

Hi all,
Kalmbach Publishing, based in Waukesha, WI, is selling many of its assets to Firecrown Media in Tennessee.
Among Kalmbach's brands is Astronomy Magazine. This magazine is a primary source of astro information for all levels of amateur astronomers, and is one that I have continuously subcribed to for 40 years. I still have every issue I've received...
Kalmbach has been in business for 90 years. It looks like they will be divesting everything and then will close down completely (see the attached notice). Astronomy Magazine has been published continuously since 1973. The good news is that it appears that the new owners plan to keep the magazine going, and will be retaining the majority of its staff, some of whom our members know personally.
Hopefully, the magazine will continue to serve many more generations of amateur astronomers to come.
