A video magazine is like a regular magazine but you watch it instead of reading it. This format came about in the 80s and 90s during the heyday of home video. Subscribers would receive VHS tapes of each issue on a periodic basis. Most were produced as companions to print editions of existing magazines.
Some early publications, like the Flipside Video Fanzine, were independent, DIY efforts. (There are a ton about skateboarding.) Others were bigger-budget productions funded by media companies. A few were about video games -- see the extremely British Click for example. Others were specialized and geared toward hobbyists, such as Set Sail! for boat lovers, or .
It's not terribly hard to guess why this format didn't last. It turns out that producing videos and distributing tapes (or, in the case of Pioneer's Zoom Magazine, LaserDiscs) takes a lot more time and money than paper magazines do. Not many people were willing to shell out the extra cash for a video magazine when a cheaper print one would suffice. Unfortunate,
Simply put, it's more fun that way.
