It has occurred to me that there a number of magazines that regularly cover Big Finish and thought that this probably deserves it's own thread.
For example
Infinity issue 09 includes a 4-page article on the Omega Factor including half-a-page on the Big Finish version for this article they spoke to TV producer George Gallicco and cast members Louise Jameson and Natasha Gerson (and John Dorney for the Big Finish segment).
the 5-page article on Dan Dare includes a mention of Big Finish in one sentence

Starburst 448 - disapointingly little compared to normal
the 6 page audio section mentions LADY CHRISTINA in the news page -other items in the news are not Big Finish (Head On, Grandma Guignol, Alien: Sea of Sorrows, BBC Dr Who soundtrack series 9) The review page does not any Big Finish (instead it's The Day she saved the Doctor and Beyond the Gates) 2 pages on sountracks (tomb of the Cybermen, City of Death, No Strings attached, Twin Peaks, the changes, etc) and 2 pages on DJ Kid Koala
their Dr Who section includes an interview with Paul McGann, a bit on the TV history of UNIT, a page on Murray Gold, and a look at the Monsters DVD - but no mention of Big Finish
The Blake's 7 feature does mention Big Finish but is annoyingly wrong (I found it irritating to read Big Finish had not done any Blake's 7 releases since 2006 while I was simultaneously listening to volume 2 of Crossfire)
other recent publications:-
Sci Fi Now 144 mentioned Big Finish in their review of the Avengers:Tunnel of Fear
Doctor Who:The Complete History - (67? - chronologically volume 12) profiles on Deborah Watling and Wendy Padbury mention their involvement in Big Finish (and also that of Charlie Hayes)

Starburs 449 Audio section lists the nominations for the Scribe awards also includes the One Voice awards winner Helen Goldwyn and runner-up in a different category, Bonnie Langford also refers to the delays in Survivors 8 and 9 and the Prisoner comic (making such a short reference to the audio that I wonder why this is not in the comics section)

There's a lengthy piece on The Omega Factor today, mentioning the Big Finish audios in depth, at the Scottish Field magazine website.
It marks 39 years since it was first broadcast.

Infinity 11's 7 page feature on the Avengers manages to include 1 sentence mentioning Big Finish's audio remake of the first season (no mention of the comic adaptations). There's a longer mention in their review of the Tunnel of Fear DVD. The feature on the Time Machine is specifically about the 1960 movie (so the Big Finsh version isn't mentioned).
Othe TV series in this issue have not yet got Big Finish versions -Doomwatch, Spyder's Web, Voyage to the bottom of the sea and Phoenix Five (whether Nick has plans for any of these remains to be seen)
