Whatever Happened to Line Up?

Line Up was the journal of the Institute of Broadcast Sound (as it then was) and became the authoritative craft magazine for anyone working in audio for radio, television and the internet - written for audio professionals by current practitioners. However, like others in its field it was not immune from the effects of the global recession, and advertising revenues declined sharply during 2008 to the extent that sadly it became no longer viable to produce Line Up as a controlled circulation paper magazine. The Summer 2009 issue was the last to be published in that format. In the submenu at left you can conveniently access the archive by downloading pdfs of individual articles.

With the wholehearted cooperation of the IBS Executive, the name and distribution lists of Line Up magazine were acquired by S2 Publications, the publisher of Resolution magazine, and Resolution was thereafter distributed to the membership of the Institute of Broadcast Sound (IBS) just as Line Up magazine was previously.

As of February 2010 Line Up became an on-line supplement to Resolution magazine, focusing on audio for broadcast TV and radio.
