Philadelphia Trumpet Circulation Now Lower Than in AD 2000

Back in August 2014 PCG's financial manager, Andrew Locher, expressed his hope that getting their recruitment program, The Key of David, broadcasting on British TV would cause the circulation of their recruitment magazine to increase.
Now with the increased potential audience in Britain and Europe, we can build Trumpet circulation and watch the Work gain momentum in this most prophetically active region. (Source.)
But despite all that PCG has done since then Trumpet circulation has fallen further. It is now lower than what it was in 2000.

For the August 2014 issue its circulation figure was 319,798. For the latest November-December 2015 issue the circulation figure is 293,184.

Where is all the money going?

Below are the circulation figures for PCG's recruitment magazine, The Philadelphia Trumpet.

March 70,000

May 44,800

June 72,900

July 86,400

August 90,000

September 95,000

November 87,500

December 89,000

January 98,250

February 102,750

March 105,300

May 116,500

June 135,000

July 178,000

At present it is not possible for me to know the circulation figures after this issue until the November 2003 issue. (August 1999-September-October 2003).

In the December 1999 issue Gerald Flurry boasts that the magazine had doubled its circulation in the last twelve months. This seems believable and to correlate with the figures presented here.

In the July-August 2000 issue of PCG's indoctrination magazine, Royal Vision, Gerald Flurry made the following boastful words: "We are on about 70 television stations and our Trumpet magazine has a circulation of more than 300,000." (p. 12.)

We continue from the November 2003 issue.
