Bauer Media is a division of the Bauer Media Group, Europe’s largest privately owned publishing Group. The Group is a worldwide media empire offering over 300 magazines in 15 countries, as well as online, TV and radio stations. Bauer Media joined the Bauer Media Group in January 2008 following acquisition of Emap plc’s consumer and specialist magazines, radio, TV, online and digital businesses. Collectively, the Group employs some 6,400 people. Bauer Media is a multi-platform UK-based media Group consisting of many

companies collected around two main divisions – Magazines and Radio - widely recognised and rewarded as being industry innovators. The business is built on influential media brands with millions of personal relationships with engaged readers and listeners. The strategy is to connect audiences with excellent

content through the broad multi-touch point brand platforms, wherever and whenever and however they want. Our wide portfolio of influential brands gives them advantages over pure play magazine or radio competitors. The magazine heritage stretches back to 1953 with the launch of Angling Times and the acquisition in 1956 of Motor Cycle News, both still iconic brands within our portfolio. The seeds of the

company’s radio business were planted in 1990 with the acquisition of London dance station Kiss FM (now called Kiss 100), followed by the acquisition of Liverpool's Radio City and later by TWC and the Metro Group. Then came the acquisition of Melody FM which was transformed into the market-leading Magic

105.4. In 1994, the company bought a small magazine called For Him Magazine which is now the core of the best-selling international multi-platform brand FHM. In 1996, they acquired digital music TV channel The Box, as a route into the small screen business, which has grown into Box Television, a seven channel

joint venture TV business with Channel 4. Continuing its history of magazine launches, Closer was launched in 2002 and Britain’s first weekly glossy, GRAZIA, was launched in 2005. Today, Bauer Media spans over 80 influential brand names covering a diverse range of interests including heat – the must

have weekly celebrity title, Parkers, MATCH!, CAR and Yours.
