In 1999 it had a circulation of just over 1,700 newspapers, nearly 1,000 fewer than the year before. The reason for the drop in subscribers was mainly changes in calculating the circulation. The [[Supplement (publishing)|supplement]] ''Landbruksnytt'' was previously counted as part of ''Fylket'''s circulation.<ref>''Stamm 1997: Presse- und Medienhandbuch: Leitfaden durch Presse und Werbung = Annual Directory through Press and Advertising = Guide annuaire à travers la presse et la publicité''. 1992.

''Fylket'' was owned by the agricultural organizations in Møre og Romsdal. Major structural changes in its owners contributed greatly to the paper's closure.
