This was not a decision that was reached lightly nor without earnest tries to find a path forward. It comes on the heels of major changes in the music industry announced in JANUARY of this year. These strong financial headwinds also extend to our non-music partners as well. Both downturns have greatly affected how ALL ACCESS operates. The dollars are just not there to support our operation and staff any longer.

ALL ACCESS Founder, President/Publisher JOEL DENVER said, "This is without question the saddest and most heartbreaking moment of my professional life to have to tell you that ALLACCESS.COM will cease publishing and will be going out of business.”

DENVER added, "ALL ACCESS began nearly 28 years ago and with the help of an amazing staff of professionals, the best in the business. We've weathered many changes and obstacles in the industry over these years. …"

Hats off to Joel. He took a big chance launching this 28 years ago as one of the first internet-only trade publications, at a time when R&R and Billboard were still built on physical distribution. People still got their news delivered by mail, and not email at that time. We're talking about the days of dial-up internet.
 
I supposed like everyone else who gets out of the radio industry, we can look forward to a Joel Denver podcast.

Only half way kidding.
 
AllAccess was a very important resource for me for over 20 years. At first just being a teenage radio geek catching up on what was being pushed to radio, finding out what was going on, catching the ratings, learning about some industry folks through 10 Questions, getting a quick look at the charts, seeing job openings, the VO Directory, was a one stop shop for useful information. There really is nothing else like it anymore. I hate seeing the industry come to this
 
Record label marketing budgets have been cut drastically. Ad support for AllAccess mainly came from record labels and radio syndication companies. Of course radio marketing has been weak for a long time. It's hard to live on Google ads.
 
Very sad indeed. I’ve had a membership for 20 years. The charts will still be accessible via Mediabase but AllAccess made viewing them so much easier than Mediabase’s somewhat outdated layout. I’ll miss their somewhat interesting ALL CAPS. I’m sure centralization also had a factor in their demise.
