Practical Electronics (previously known as Everyday Practical Electronics) is a UK-published magazine that is available in print or downloadable format.
Publication history
Practical Electronics was founded in 1964 by IPC Magazines as a constructors' magazine for the electronics enthusiast. (It was a sister publication to IPC's other "Practical" titles, including Practical Mechanics, Practical Motorist, Practical Television, and Practical Wireless.)
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.{{cite web|title=The History of EPE|url=http://www.epemag.com/epe-history.html|work=Wimborne Publishing Ltd|accessdate=17 March 2014}}
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 (EPE) – 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.{{cite web|work=Wimborne Publishing|title=History of EPE|url=http://www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/history.htm|accessdate=12 June 2012}}
In November 2018, Wimborne Publishing passed EPE and all rights to earlier material, including Practical Electronics, Everyday Electronics, Hobby Electronics (which later became Electronics Monthly) 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.
