History
In mid-March 1993, Munich publisher
In 2007, the publishing house Gruner + Jahr acquired the entertainment media publications from Scheele and the Ebner publishing group, which now held a share of around 83 percent.[9] In 2014, after rethinking the strategic direction of the large Hamburg-based company, they were up for sale again. The newly founded Cologne-based company Busch Business Media seized the opportunity and has since distributed them together with the magazine range around MusikWoche and Blickpunkt:Film.[3] However, the editorial office was only marginally relocated from Aschheim near Munich to the Bavarian capital. According to estimates by market experts, the revenue for Gruner + Jahr was in the "higher single-digit" million range.[9]

The proper spelling varies from time to time. Initially "MUSIKWoche" was used, most recently "musik.woche". Quotations are usually given as "MusikWoche".
The weekly magazine is only available by subscription. It is dated on the Monday of the respective calendar week. A double issue is published at the turn of the year.
