Competing products
Future PLC owns the rights of Total Film magazine that talks about films and their
actors. Bauer has a similar magazine called Empire which both have the Gene and
both have the same still on the front cover. This means that Bauer and Future PLC
have a rivalry with film magazines.
Future PLC own TV Times which is a magazine about tv shows and many different
types of programmes with your favourite actors. Unfortunately Bauer also does a TV
magazine called Total TV Guide which looks the exact same as TV time with the
same genre. This means the companies are competitors.
