Aw, Marge! -- Playboy Reports $23.5 Million Loss; CEO Says "Bolder Steps Required" For Profitability.

Foliomag reported on November 5, 2009:

"CEO Scott Flanders declined to offer specifics about the “bolder” steps, but said three things are sure: he’s creating a new “corporate culture” that enables his staff to think and perform across divisions; he’s working on a joint venture in the development of a new business model for the company; and is strongly considering further cost cutting initiatives.

Flanders said he expects to announce those developments before the end of the year."

In October 2009, Playboy Enterprises announced that it will cut the rate base of Playboy magazine by 38 percent, from 2.6 million to 1.5 million copies. The change is effective with the January 2010 issue. The January and February 2010 issues will also be combined into one.

Playboy is planning to make some 'radical changes' to the magazine, Julie Johnsson of the Chicago Tribune reported on May 11, 2009:

"Reeling from declines in readership and advertising, Playboy magazine is contemplating "radical changes" that may include cutting its circulation and reducing the frequency with which it is published, Jerome Kern, interim chairman and chief executive of Playboy Enterprises Inc. told analysts Monday.

The troubled publisher has embarked on a series of cost cuts in recent months, including closing its New York offices on May 1. Christie Hefner departed as CEO in January, after two decades as leader of the Chicago-based media firm, and Playboy's board is in the process of finding her replacement.

Next up is a make-over of its flagship publication. Playboy plans to combine its July and August issues into a single edition to reduce printing and distribution costs, and it is looking at trimming its circulation and reducing its advertising rates, officials said."
