Programme Monthly at risk unless new editor(s) can be found

Norfolk-based magazine Programme Monthly is close to folding up unless someone steps into replace outgoing editor John Litster.
Litster, who has run the magazine single-handidly since its inception in 1981 is keen to step down from the editor’s chair and has appealed for new blood to take the popular title into a new direction.
Programme Monthly and Football Collectable, to give the monthly magazine its full title has built up a cult readership of thousands over the last 30 years with its mix of articles on the world of football programme collecting.
Editor Litster will appeal for new help in the March issue of the magazine due out later this month.
He has confirmed there are three different roles in running the magazine, which has just celebrated its 30th anniversary, which he currently performs and these could be filled by up to three people.
Litster said: “Once I find someone to take on these tasks, I intend to have no future part in the magazine’s activities, and, frankly, the sooner that happens the better, both from my own point of view, and for the good of the magazine, which requires ideas and new directions.
“I am afraid that the imperative is to find someone, or some people, to do the actual work in making these changes and improvements. If no-one comes forward, I regret that the likely outcome is that I will close down the magazine.”
