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. 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.
