What's going on at Andante?

I subscribe to Andante, the web site devoted to classical music. I like the site, which has an interesting selection of streaming performances and first-class (if a bit pricey) reissues on its label. I was a little worried when they were acquired by naive, but the addition of that catalog, which has some very good recordings, has only enhanced it.

But I get worried about its long-term health (especially given the current state of the classical recording industry). The news section (which I find pretty valuable) hasn't been updated in over a week. This is the second time I've noticed such a large gap (the first was around the holidays). Is it that the staff who manages this is away and there is no backup, or is this a sign of problems at the site? Does anybody know?
