I believe that Ziff-Davis recently sold off a bunch of its magazines
(including Car and Driver) for an exceedingly massive amount of cash.
The amount was published in Business Week a few months ago. This was followed
up by interviews with the chief executives of the company. The general tone
of the interviews was "what are you going to do with all this money?"
From these articles, it seems reasonable to infer that Ziff-Davis has more 
than adequate money to sustain those magazines which it wants to continue
operating!
