Its announcement influenced Torstar to offer a promotion for its competing magazine Weekly Scoop, temporarily dropping that magazine's cover price to just 25 cents the week after Hello! Canada's launch was announced.[5]
On March 20, 2019, Rogers announced a deal to sell the magazine to St. Joseph Communications.[6]
