ESPN Magazine Taps People Gone Fishin’
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – ESPN has stumbled onto a niche that seems to be thriving despite the recession — people who literally have gone fishing.
The Walt Disney Co owned sports network said on Wednesday that it had added 44 percent more pages than planned to an insert in its Bassmaster Magazine aimed at saltwater fishermen because of advertiser demand.
From product expos at bass pro shops to the Bassmaster Classic fishing competition, companies that supply equipment and boats for bass enthusiasts are seeing greater interest, said James Hall, editor of Bassmaster Magazine and the supplement, ESPN Outdoors Saltwater magazine.
“It’s pretty remarkable. Everywhere we turn we are hearing it,” Hall said. “If you don’t have to go to work, what better thing is there to do than go bass fishing?”
Hall said that because of the interest in the saltwater supplement, ESPN was considering publishing it quarterly instead of annually.
This is the first time the magazine has published this supplement, which will be sent to half of Bassmaster’s 500,000 subscribers this year. ESPN would not say how much advertising revenue it had earned through it.
Hall said he received more than 18,000 requests for an online edition, which will be available on March 17.
People who read Bassmaster are generally middle-aged men who can afford boats, large vehicles to tow them, and an average of 20 rod and reel combinations that can go for $500 apiece, Hall said.

Disney D23 Magazine Review – Lotsa Details, Some Photos
For the latest in D23 news, click here.
- Disney twenty-three Spring 2009 Premiere Issue Cover
Thanks to a tip from a Distant Creations reader, I was able to get my hands on a copy (or two, actually) of Disney twenty-three magazine, the companion guide to the new Disney 23 Official Community for Disney Fans, or the ‘Disney affinity club,’ as CEO Bob Iger recently referred to it.
First Impressions: First of all, I hesitate to call this a magazine. It’s not at all what might first come to one’s mind at the thought. No, this is actually more of a timely coffee table book. With 62 pages of content, this quarterly periodical packs in plenty of full color photos (when available) laid out in a very contemporary fashion accompanied by some well detailed articles. Quite arty. The pages are binded with glue, not staples and the pages are of a thicker stock than traditional magazines. The cover, which features an embossed title, might as well be hardcover. Priced at $15.95, it’s a modest investment. And I almost forgot to mention, it comes complete in a plastic, resealable protective pouch.
So what exactly is D23 aside from the tagline? According to the inside cover, D23 (referred to throughout the issue as Disney twenty-three) ‘celebrates the adventure Walt embarked upon and the amazing legacy that lives on in the work of Disney storytellers, animators, film-makers, Imagineers and Cast Members around the world.’ Read more…
