Soap Opera Magazine was a weekly periodical devoted to interviews and recaps of American soap opera and was run for many years by American Media until the company, which had lost money for years, decided to cease publication of the magazine, focusing instead on their tabloid endeavors. It has since gone through a new digital transformation under new ownership.
The final issue was published on February 16, 1999. At that time, all customers who had existing Soap Opera Magazine subscriptions began receiving Soap Opera Digest instead.
Digital relaunch
In 2023, the Soap Opera Magazine domain was acquired by Squid McGuffey Media LLC, which relaunched the brand as a digital publication under new ownership. In March 2026, the company filed a federal trademark application for the Soap Opera Magazine name with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, following the abandonment of all previous trademark registrations held by prior owners.
