I used to write for them but they made it impossible for me to work anymore and now I think the guy I used to work for is gone. They stopped writing new content a while back, Hot Rod is now mostly just recycled content from earlier years. I think the end is near for all print magazines and maybe even the online stuff.
At last years Holley Moparty a few buddies and me got to talk to a guy that gave us the lowdown on what was going on with Motortrend and the changes that were already going on then.
They didn't want the show hosts to really be the stars, they wanted to be able to plug any body in the spot run the shows.
He is/was one of the TV hosts and is friends with the rest of them.
He talked about how they went out of their way to kill off the print stuff "right now" even though is was already slowly dying but could have survived for years.
