History
DVD Monthly was founded in April 1999 as the first magazine of Dave Perry's Predator Publishing in Exeter, Devon, UK. Shortly after its launch, funding for the continued running of the magazine came from Goodfellas Publishing, who later became the majority shareholders of Predator Publishing. Initially edited by Dave Perry himself, Jon Bruford subsequently took over as editor in early 2003 and from September 2004 until 2009, the title was edited by Tim Isaac. After Goodfellas decided to close most of its publishing ventures, the magazine was bought by Chester-based Jazz Publishing in August 2006, which took all advertising and sales in-house to their offices, while leaving editorial and design in Exeter. Its major competition in the UK was DVD Review magazine and HD Review magazine.The magazine closed down in 2009.
