A close source has reported that the UPCI has "eliminated the Media Missions Dept yesterday because it was 1.7 million in the red". This is on the heels of the millions lost to the almost defunct PPH which is millions in deficit. PPH reportedly is running on a skeleton crew of less than 10 and outsourcing for the most part.
"So in the last year, PPH and MM went the way of the dinosaur ... is this a sign of big trouble or a necessary correction?"
Also, on the way out, reportedly, is MC, Marketing Department Director / Division of Publications, perhaps the man, who some feel .... is for the most part, responsible for the hemorrhaging. Some believe this departure has links to DKB.
Was Jim Yohe right all along? He seemed to have had the foresight that major restructuring needed to happen before millions of the constituency's dollars were obliterated.
In November of 2003 he wrote "Breaking The PPH Monopoly":

And realized that Harvestime, which was swallowed up by Media Missions, needed to be a lot more cost effective and efficient ... He called for the " A UPCI Communications Division", over 6 years ago. They apparently listened but could not keep it going ...

How long can this continue without accountability to its constituents?
Is this somehow linked to the overall economy? Or poor administration and stewardship?
In addition, with signficant chatter that DKB has given District Superintendents and boards, in a a recent letter, the greenlight to ask those who don't believe the Message to leave ... and the departure of seasoned ministers and churches to the WPF, Global, et al. .... are we looking at the beginning of the end?
