TV trade publications Broadcasting + Cable and Multichannel News will shutter publication of print magazines and daily newsletters, owner Future announced on Tuesday.
Instead, Future announced a new SmartBrief newsletter which will focus on media and entertainment, and a new Nexttv.com website in October.

The initiative aims to provide consumers with a streamlined source of information in a “rapidly changing media landscape.”
“This industry is going through a rapid transformation that requires our business to adapt,” Future B2B SVP Amanda Darman-Allen said in a statement. “By focusing our efforts on impactful in-person events and a unified newsletter, we believe we will maintain our role as a key connector and influencer.”
The Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame will also continue. The 33-year-old Hall of Fame honors those who have made significant impacts on the broadcasting and cable industries.
