TVNewsCheck, a source of broadcast industry news, will suspend website updates and publication of its regular newsletters, the publication announced on Monday.

“For the past 18 years, TVNewsCheck has been the broadcasting industry’s essential source for continuously updated news, analysis and opinion, but as of today’s AM newsletter, we must put that service on hold,” the staff writes.

It continues, “It’s no secret that the media industry is facing the most challenging environment it has ever known, finding itself in need of adapting to fragmentation and the demands of a multiplatform media universe.” Each day, we have endeavored to share with you the story of that transition, the incremental successes and the casualties among the organizations that comprise this industry.”

However it adds, “We are not immune to those challenges.”

The message continues, “We want nothing more than to continue our efforts to keep the industry informed and in touch and we are exploring strategic options for doing so, including expanding our premium content strategy."

The team intends to keep the events segment of TVNewsCheck "up and running to bring you essential conferences like Programming Everywhere, Local TV Strategies and NewsTECHForum, along with webinars such as Optimizing Political Revenue in a Multimedia World, for which registration is still open for the March 5 event."
