History and profile
Prog is published by TeamRock, who are also responsible for its "sister" publications Classic Rock and Metal Hammer. The magazine is edited by Jerry Ewing[1] and focuses on artists and bands from the past and present. The magazine is part of Future Publishing.[2]
Prog was published nine times per year until 2012 when its frequency was switched to ten times a year.[2]
According to The Guardian in 2010, the magazine was selling 22,000 copies an issue, half the circulation of the NME.[3] Journalist and broadcaster Gavin Esler described it in 2014 as "one of the few music magazines I can think of whose circulation is healthy".[4]
