Publication History
First published in August 1967, the magazine was preceded by sister publications 16 Magazine, which debuted in 1956, and Tiger Beat, which was first published in 1965.
Teen Beat was published by Sterling's Magazines from 1967–c. 1985, including a period when it was part of Sterling's Ideal Publishing Company. (Sterling's also published Metal Edge, Metal Maniacs, Country Music Special, and others.) In the mid-1980s, Sterling's/Ideal teen magazines' Teen Beat, Tiger Beat, Super Teen and Super Teen's Loudmouth were acquired by Macfadden Publications. In 1985 Michael Liben was the publisher of Teen Beat.
The mid-1990s saw a slump in the overall teen magazine market. In 1998, the conglomerate's line of youth music publications was sold off to Primedia. In 2001, after publishing up to twelve magazines each year, Primedia decided to reduce its number of publications to only four magazines per year, deciding to keep 16, Tiger Beat, Teen Beat, and BOP Magazine.
Teen Beat ceased publishing c. 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words publication and/or history:
“An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
