I'm not sure anyone suggested publishing two magazines. It seems the OP was simply letting others know this would be their last chance to read WorldTraveler.

I, for one, always found the featured destinations articles to be very good. You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones where they feature a destination and give you a sample two or three-day itinerary with places to eat, visit, shop, sleep, etc. It was usually a good mix of higher-end and budget. And the focus sections on MSP, DTW, MEM, and some of the other focus cities let me know about some of the new places to wine & dine at, even in my own hometown!

I hope some of the writing talent is brought into Sky. I do know that the current WorldTraveler publisher will be publishing Sky going forward, but I don't know if any of the content will be brought over.
