Amplitude Media Group

What Amplitude Media Group does

Amplitude Media Group is a privately held, U.S.-based niche media company that publishes Amplitude Magazine, a bimonthly print and digital publication serving the amputee community, alongside the free "Amplitude This Week" weekly email newsletter and the searchable Amputee Community Resource Directory. Operating from Loveland, Colorado under president Tonja Randolph with a 1–10 employee footprint, the company has produced continuous bimonthly issues since 2014, amassing a 12-year editorial archive covering adaptive living, prosthetics, health, sports, relationships, and community resources. Its content is consumed primarily by people living with limb loss and their families/caregivers, with extensions into Paralympic athletes and the broader prosthetic-care ecosystem.

The underlying technology is a conventional digital publishing platform consisting of a WordPress-based website (livingwithamplitude.com), an email newsletter delivery system, a searchable directory database of hundreds of partner organizations, and social media accounts across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Subscription order processing is handled through JotForm integration, and no proprietary AI, mobile application, or API surface is disclosed.

The business model is direct-to-consumer, combining recurring annual print-magazine subscriptions with digital advertising and sponsored content (including named sponsorships such as Altius). Subscription pricing is not publicly disclosed, and revenue is not reported. The company describes itself as the "#1 weekly source of amputee news in the United States," claims no institutional ownership, has raised no disclosed funding, and operates exclusively within the U.S. market.

Direct peers

• New Mobility: Monthly print and digital magazine serving the wheelchair-user and broader disability community. Closest comparable to Amplitude: similar consumer magazine format, community resource content, advocacy focus, and U.S.-based circulation.
• Ability Magazine: Print and online publication covering disability culture, resources, and lifestyle. Comparable to Amplitude in niche audience, recurring publishing model, and emphasis on community resource directories.
• InMotion (Amputee Coalition): Bimonthly magazine published by the Amputee Coalition for people with limb loss. Directly competes for the same audience and advertiser set as Amplitude Magazine.
• Sports 'N Spokes / PVA: Magazine and publications from Paralyzed Veterans of America covering wheelchair sports and disability lifestyle. Comparable niche disability media brand with print and digital distribution.

Emerging players

• Disabled World: Online news and resources portal covering disability news, health, and accessibility. Comparable to Amplitude's digital content and resource-directory play, but distributed purely online.

Regional players

• O&P Almanac: Trade publication of the American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association serving prosthetics professionals rather than consumers. Adjacent to Amplitude's audience and overlapping advertiser pool.

Broad incumbents

• Healthline: Large consumer health publisher that occasionally covers amputee and disability topics. A potential disintermediator that could expand amputee vertical content at scale, threatening niche leaders.
• WebMD: Mainstream health information publisher with broad reach and large pharma/medical-device advertising budgets. Could enter or expand amputee-specific verticals, competing for the same healthcare advertisers.
