About Bauer Media
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.
Our business is built on influential media brands with millions of personal relationships with
engaged readers and listeners. Our strategy is to connect audiences with excellent content
through our broad multi-touch point brand platforms, wherever and whenever and however
they want. Our wide portfolio of influential brands gives us advantages over pure play
magazine or radio competitors.
Our 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, we 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.

3. 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. For a full list our powerful brands, click here.
Bauer Media is a sister company of H Bauer Publishing, publisher of the UK's biggest TV
listings, Take a Break and Bella.
