The end of the sports week
The magazine *Sportwoche* is being discontinued effective immediately, just eight months after its launch. All ten employees of Sportwoche AG, a company established specifically for this purpose, are affected by the discontinuation.
The Swiss sports magazine, which appeared every Thursday, started in February with a circulation of 75,000 copies. In the end, a maximum of 10,000 copies were sold per week. The publisher is Sportverlag Europa Medien AG, which also produces the football magazine Eurosoccer. The public limited company Sportwoche AG is now likely to file for insolvency, according to Tagesanzeiger.ch. Editor-in-chief Marcel Siegenthaler could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.
