Everyday Practical Electronics


Everyday Practical Electronics is a UK published magazine that is available in print or downloadable format.

History

Practical Electronics was a UK published magazine, founded in 1964, as a constructors' magazine for the electronics enthusiast. In 1971 a novice-level magazine, Everyday Electronics, was begun by the same publisher. Until 1977, both titles had the same production and editorial team.
In 1986, both titles were sold by their owner, IPC Magazines, to independent publishers and the editorial teams remained separate.
By the early 1990s, the title experienced a marked decline in market share and, in 1992, it was purchased by Wimborne Publishing Ltd. which was, at that time, the publisher of the rival, novice-level Everyday Electronics. The two magazines were merged to form Everyday with Practical Electronics - the "with" in the title being dropped from the November 1995 issue. In February 1999, the publisher acquired the former rival, Electronics Today International, and merged it into EPE.
In November 2018, Wimborne Publishing passed EPE and all rights to earlier material, including Practical Electronics, Everyday Electronics, Hobby Electronics and Electronics Today International to a new publisher, Electron Publishing Limited.
The new publisher’s first issue was January 2019, and from the April 2019 issue the magazine reverted to its original title of Practical Electronics.
