Penthouse halts magazine after 50 years, goes digital

Company said that the subscriptions would be converted to digital.

Adult magazine Penthouse will end its print edition after 50 years, becoming the latest publication to go exclusively digital.

Parent company FriendFinder Networks Inc. said the magazine will henceforth be released in online-only format and that subscriptions would be converted to digital.

"This will be a new way for its readers to experience the world's best adult magazine," said FriendFinder chief executive Jonathan Buckheit in a statement.

"Reimagined for the preferred consumption of content today by consumers, the digital version of Penthouse Magazine will combine and convert everything readers know and love about the print magazine experience to the power of a digital experience -- giving people an open-ended reading experience, available anytime, anywhere."

The magazine division, which operated out of New York, will move to the company's Los Angeles-based office.
