Format and schedule change for Donald Duck Weekly, Norway

[Erlend Vold Enget, Natur og viten as]

Hi!

Right before Christmas, Egmont informed us about format and scheduling changes for Donald Duck & Co in Norway. 

Sadly, sales numbers of Donald Duck & Co dictates Egmont will no longer publish it weekly, and changes it into a bi-weekly comic book, unless you´re a subscriber (as we still gets them weekly). I think about 70% goes to subscribers. I can get that part, but find it very sad, after all I grew up with the weekly purchase of «Donald» in the local grocery store. 

I´d like to hear if this is also the situation from other countries. I´d say I hope not!

Egmont also presented for us a format change, increasing the height of Donald Duck & Co with 10 mm. Can anyone tell me the background for this format change, as well as if this also occur for other countries? InDucks still lists the Donald Duck & Co as a B5-format in 2015.

I taught myself the art of reading reading Disney comic books, and have no intention stop reading them now, even in my mid-forties.
