Act III Publishing
Act III Publishing was a company that published a number of trade magazines that covered the Media, Publishing, Music and Television Industries. The company was in business from 1985 to approximately 1991/92 when the various titles were sold to a variety of other publishers and the remaining titles were shut down. Act III Publishing was owned by the famous TV producer/writer Norman Lear who held a controlling interest through his company Act III Communications. The company was based in New York City.
==Early Experience In Publishing - ''Channels''==
Norman Lear acquired ''Channels'' magazine in 1985, prior to the formation of Act III. The title had been founded as a non-profit publication by well-known television industry writer and commentator Les Brown (1929-2013).〔(Forbes November 19, 2013 )〕 The magazine was originally titled ''Channels of Communication''. It was started in 1981 and was funded by the John and Mary Markle Foundation until the acquisition by Lear.〔( "Les Brown, Author of Encyclopedia of Television Passes On" TV Worth Watching November 20, 2013 )〕 ''Channels'' was comprehensively re-designed and re-launched in March 2006 as a for-profit trade publication. Its frequency was changed from bimonthly to monthly and Les Brown brought on board experienced ''Washington Post'' media reporter Merrill Brown as Executive Editor. At the same time the editorial focus of the magazine was re-calibrated. While still focusing on the television business, it shifted from a mix of the art, technology and business of television with perhaps a 20% emphasis on business, to at least a 50% emphasis on business.〔"Channels Magazine Changing" ''The New York Times'' January 27, 1986〕 Channels was a so-called "controlled circulation" publication, meaning that it was distributed free of charge to a select audience of media and entertainment specialists to which the advertising could be precisely targeted.
